The crew installs two 440W bifacial solar panels on a stainless steel solar arch using aluminum box tubing and stainless steel saddle clamps.3:16 To bridge gaps between the uneven arch and the panels, they insert small blocks of hardwood as spacers before tightening the U-bolts.24:23 The electrical installation involves connecting the panels to existing Victron charge controllers.28:09 The crew emphasizes connecting the battery bank to the controllers before the solar input to ensure the system correctly identifies the 12-volt load.28:09 Testing confirms the panels are functional, with one producing 266 watts despite partial mast shadowing.28:31 Additionally, the crew replaces their existing anchor with a 20kg Rocna Mark 2, citing the anchor's concave fluke design and I-beam shank as improvements for holding power in the high-wind conditions expected during an upcoming passage to Tasmania.17:50
