[Rhodes22-list] Paying Stan (GB) for his knowlege on solar panels

[Jim Connolly]

Thanks for the advice.  I don't think I would ever have hit on removing a
window as the answer, even though it did occur that the bigger hole I could
find, the better.

I agree we need to support Stan and GB.  In this case, though I got a pair
of discontinued panels at a big savings.  A trip to the plant for install
would be about 1,300 mile round trip.

I did enjoy story about flying the toilet to Edenton.

BTW, Stan, if a 50-something guy from New Hampshire calls and wants to trade
in an American 18 daysailer on a recycle, I want credit (just attaboy, no
cash).

While I may at times disagree with Stan regarding certain aspects of
business (Triad Trailers), I applaud the 2 posts (reproduced below) by Stan
regarding solar power on your R22.  Please buy your solar panels from GB
(and have him install them if possible), in an effort to repay him for these
invaluable gems.

For those who have never had to fish wires through the space on top of and
around the cabin, the knowledge of removing windows to access the cabin
headliner space for wiring is truly worth its weight in gold.  When
replacing the windows, don't forget to properly clean and reseal them to the
deck.  In addition, knowing to mount the solar panels on a stainless plate,
off the deck (air below for cooling), will add years of life to your
installation.

Sometimes, the very small details are the most important, especially those
learned through expensive experience.  Thanks again, Stan.

you can fish thru the air space between the headliner and cabin wall.

Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] Solar Panel size we have 10 watt panels that
fit on the cabin tops next to the pt opening - we sell them as a kit with
diodes and mounting strips to allow air under the stainless steel base
plate.
