“We took part in the Midsummer Sail regatta this year—that’s 900 nautical miles, or six days of non-stop sailing—and had four FlinRail+ panels on board. With these solar panels, we didn’t have any power problems at all.”
“Our power consumption included two continuously running refrigerators (one portable compressor fridge and one built-in), two chartplotters, the autopilot, the ship’s lights, occasionally the radar (we had fog around the Åland Islands), and, of course, everyone had to charge their phones again and again.”
“On the sunny days, we were able to fully recharge the batteries 100%. Only on the second-to-last day, after three days without or with very little sunshine, and also because we didn’t want to risk damaging the solar panels mounted on the railing with the spinnaker sheets while under spinnaker, did we run our generator once for two hours. Even now, during our holiday in the Stockholm archipelago, where we only anchor and don’t call into any ports, we have absolutely no more power worries with the Flin solar panels.”
Best regards,
