You could definitely do better and might consider bailing if it’s not a done deal yet. Doing my own
installation and for half the
money, I installed more than 3 times the wattage you’re going to get, albeit using rigid
panels.
I feel the bare minimum is 600 W for a cruising couple and once you have more than 1 kiloWatt you no longer need a
generator except for airconditioning. You can run your microwave, coffee machine, washer dryer, and even heat water for a
shower, all from 1kW
solar and an about 600 Ah
battery pack.
And as said above, you can install 1kW of
solar yourself for under € 2k. Dunno if the charter company would let you.
