My regulator allows me to record info from the panel so I'll be investigating that soon.<br /><br />One thing that could be worth a follow up is the lack of support for instals or feed in tariffs for boats. After all I am not running my engine as much now saving energy, if I were a home install I'd be getting income from the government for that - maybe a WW article?<br /><br />Take care<br /><br />NevNev Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047359519459723079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193284457263034796.post-78628859255786745732011-11-02T16:24:51.060+00:002011-11-02T16:24:51.060+00:00Nev, one fellow in London has a boat powered and d...Nev, one fellow in London has a boat powered and driven entirely by solar panels (except for space heating).<br /><br />And he has an interesting point: He sticks them on the SIDE of the boat, because (he says) the light bouncing off the water is almost as bright as the sun itself. <br /><br />No one else does that, as far as I can see. Of course, you have to have a more south-facing aspect, and it doesn't work for every situation. But I've never seen anyone else mention it. <br /><br />AndrewAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927670897815686822noreply@blogger.com
