“Installing solar has allowed us to go a long weekend without running the batteries down below 70 percent, and we did not need to plug into shore power. We installed the flexible panel on top of the dodger so it is out of sight and out of the way. However, it is subject to shadows from the mast and boom. It was important to us to choose a panel with a bypass diode that would keep working even when a few cells were in the shade.” – Catalina 37 with (1) 100W panel
