This is the SHORT solar stick thread...the 1000 posters is the wind and solar thread! Go find Simon and drink your san francisco "wheat grass" shake!

anyone read this article
Lats & Atts, May issue, "Going Green" section. No mention of the solar stik, but a pretty "interesting" article regarding greening your boat with solar.

I hate to admit it, but after what I learned from this thread, and having bought a stik, I don't think that the article painted a very clear picture at all.

It states it is possible to mount two 210 watt panels on a articulating mount (like the solar stik) for a small boat. I have two 50 watters on my stik and they almost do the job of my bimini!

Very little of the "solar" section seems correct or even possible to me.

Thanks for the Tip Amy...I just read the article and there is a lot of good stuff in there and then there is a lot of stuff that is presented as fact when it is actually the subject of considerable debate among those who actually use this stuff rather than install it! You are absolutely correct about his solar discussion...it must be a typo or oversight. A couple of 210W panels would take up a 5' x6.5 foot space! I wouldn't want to try articulating those in a breeze!

With a rack like that, who needs sails?

Nice Tayana, by the way!
