G'day Alan!
Have everything crossed for you blokes out there. Best wishes from an Balmy (Barmey) Palmy eject.
P.S. Where is the Pirate Thread with the
Solar Panel info?
We have 7 + 2 windgens and rarely need to run a genny for the freezer+2 fridges, TV, PC,
DVD player, 1.6kw
inverter,
battery charger,
SSB. Doesn't sound like sailing? After so many years, it does! Also saves going into a dreaded MARINA whose owners charge a true ransom for a few feet of pontoon, admin, ablutions,
electric +
water in
Europe, anyway... In
Portugal, like Oz, the Govt subsidises the
price of
solar panels in an effort to encourage increased use. It is really surprising to us that, in these super-sunny climes, one rarely spots a solarpan altho new housing occasionally includes a water-heating variety.
