Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of SV Delos installs flexible solar panels on their bimini to replace 300 watts of capacity lost after mounting a Viasat dome.6:27 The project involves adding 780 watts of total capacity using 110-watt and 170-watt flexible panels, which weigh approximately one-third of the rigid panels they replace.8:15 To secure the panels, the crew sews custom pockets onto the existing Sunbrella bimini using abrasion-resistant "shelter right" material and double-sided basting tape.9:04 They install metal fasteners through the fabric to hold the panels in place while allowing for easy removal.9:15 The installation process follows techniques adapted from a Sailrite tutorial, utilizing a heavy-duty sewing machine to ensure durability.8:53 The crew plans to run these flexible panels alongside their remaining rigid panels to conduct a long-term performance comparison.7:14 The total cost for materials, wiring, and panels is approximately $2,000.10:27
