Challenges with Solar on boats

[witzgall]

HI all,

I am doing a bit of research for a project. If you are currently using solar on your boat, I would like to ask what issues you have run into with your installation. I am specifically looking for issues with wiring, regulation and charging of your batteries.

This is your chance to re-invent the wheel. If you could snap your fingers, and a new product would appear that is just what you wanted, what would it be like?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
