don't add wind generating now is that with our recent cruising

Essie's solar panels are US32's, flexible panels mounted directly to the
coachroof. You can walk on them and they can't break. Amorphous film, they
don't stop putting out current just because some cells are in shadow. Two of
these give me, theoretically, 64 watts at optimum sun exposure. In reality
much less, but they're better than nothing, and much better than fixing
large glass panels, IMO.
