Hi Rick, I have fitted 2*125w Kyocera solar panels, a local pipe bender made
a gantry for me. Down in sunny Portugal I was getting 14 Amps @ 12V for many
hours. Besides the engine/alternator we don't have any other source of
power. I will let the group know how they perform on our transatlantic trip
later this year as the performance of the panels directly relates to the
temperature of the beers and as such is crucial.

They do restrict the movement of the Hydrovane a little but I really
couldn't think of a better place to put them.

I have put a higher definition picture on my website at

I am also looking at power supply for cruising. Does anyone have a generator
in their Baba 30, how many kw, where is it installed etc? Any opinions on
solar panels?

Thanks.
