Torqeedo powered solar boat: The Humber Foton

[ortcloud99]

why dont you make an awning and put a flexible solar panel on the awning, you would have all kinds of surface area to spread out the solar panels (and it would keep my balding head from sunburn)

@ortcloud99 I have certainly tought of doing that and you are not the first person to suggest it. This particular boat is not the best format for an awning. Watch this space. You never know what I will come up with!

what will panels extend battery life by on clear summers day?

How long would panels take to recharge batteries if moored up?

thanks

Hi there! The panels charge two 12 volt batteries and the Torqeedo motor runs off the batteries.

Is it only powered by the solar panels?
