How To Install PIVOTING SOLAR On A Sailboat - Turning Lifelines Into Solar Mounted Railings!
Ahoy! With more power demands aboard Sea Dream of Clyde, it is time to up our solar game! In this episode, we convert our cockpit lifelines into stainless steel railings, then install two 100 watt Renogy solar panels. We use pivoting clamps that allow us to rotate these new panels by over 180 degrees to maximize our solar input.
Here are most of the parts we used:
