This video demonstrates how Chris Random was able to fit two big solar panels on to a small sailing boat. He made a DIY solar panel mounting system which allows the panels to track the sun, whilst receiving very little shading from the existing structure of the boat.

  1. Hi all,

    it’s now over a year since I fitted the solar panels to the boat and the mounting system has been great. I’ve never had to remove them for bad weather (they’ve been out in 50+ knot winds). My wife and I went on our honeymoon on the boat and spent 23 consecutive nights at anchor – this would have never been possible without the solar panels.

    Thanks for sharing sailuniverse!

    Fair winds to all!

    Cheers,
    Chris
