Narrowboat Solar Panel Fitters

This should be on an area of the cabin roof or wheelhouse clear of other equipment.

Narrowboat solar panel fitters.

The solar panel will not interfere with the operation of the other equipment but items like t v. These small panels typically come in 5 10 and 20 watt sizes are semi flexible and will gently bend to fit the curve of most narrowboat roofs provided the curve is not too tight. The simplest and quickest way to use a solar panel on your narrowboat is to buy a portable solar panel. The smaller battery pack also has a solar panel built in.

Of course everyone has a view on this rigid advocates will tell you that flexible are inefficient and break easily are costly etc. Sunworks portable solar panels have an adjustable stand that allows the panel to be tilted up or down. These panels have a stand that allows you to set the panel up outside the boat pointing it directly at the sun. Most of a narrowboat roof is potentially space for installing panels but you need to look at how much of that you can spare or want to allocate for the use of the solar panels.

We have two different battery packs 1 x 20 000mah pack and 2 x 10 000mah packs. Aerials might cast a shadow over the panel and reduce its effectiveness. They can be mounted either using the 4 grommet holes in the panel corners or by gluing the panels down. This is the physical size that you have available to be taken up by a set of solar panels.
