Huh?!??!
I thought exposing them to the sun daily was the fundamental principle behind the product.
FWIW I am not a supporter of solar because to me, the power is not sufficient for the cost and frankly I think they are really ugly. Wind gennies to me are a contradiction on terms. When I go on anchor I spend a great deal of effort finding a spot with the least wind. And coincidentally that's about the time I am likely to use the most power.
Genset for me . . . . low fuel usage, more power than I can use, almost as quiet as a solar array, far quieter than most wind gennies. I haven't got a functional one yet but am working on that - will definitely have one working before I go off cruising.
