Crew installs solar panels on catamaran in calm bay
O que este vídeo aborda
Djé and Nad install additional solar panels on the bimini of their Outremer catamaran in Martinique. To prepare the mounting surface, Djé drills holes into the bimini, fills them with epoxy to create solid inserts, and sands the area flat.▶ 0:01 He uses Sikaflex to seal the brackets, ensuring the installation is watertight while allowing for a small air gap beneath the panels to improve cooling and efficiency.▶ 4:51 Because the bimini surface is slightly uneven, the crew uses shims to level the panels and avoid mechanical stress on the mounts.▶ 5:15 While the mechanical installation is complete, the electrical connection remains pending until the arrival of a new MPPT charge controller and additional cabling.▶ 23:36 Between boat projects, Djé maintains a trail-running regimen in the local sugarcane fields, noting the varying growth stages of the crops and the environmental impact of glyphosate usage in the region.▶ 10:16
