I have absolutely fallen in love with you two(and I'm not even gay) but I don't care , I love the banter between you two , I wish i could give you both a big cuddle in these trying times, keep doing what you do and I will be happy
Your boat is really nice. The solar panels that you have got match the boat perfectly, I have never seen panels look so neat, Thank you for explaining how they are connected and what you get from them. Thank you for sharing your ideas and results. Much appreciated.
Thank you very much - this is the exact vlog I have hoped you would produce one day. It’s informative and it’s comparative .... and it’s ideal. Thank you again.
A big thumbs up from me. These are the kind of vlogs I like the best and handily for me, I think you do best too. I sometimes think you missed your vocation and somewhere up north a classroom exists that should have had you in it teaching.
This is an application that should be more universally adapted to residential and small businesses that will help reduce the world’s dependence on fossil fuels. A great byproduct is that during power outages homes and small businesses can have some limited power to supply essential needs like computers and refrigeration. Clearly, there are some limits, but I think all new construction should allow for solar applications with appropriate tax incentives. In the states such applications and incentives are already in place. Great blog!
I appreciate that! Ah, most of those are in the first few minutes after posting, so they haven't even watched it yet. It's the same sad haters every week. It doesn't bother us at all so don't worry about it 😛💜
Excellent explanation! 👍 My hubby is always looking into solar panels, we've been looking at an RV, so he was thinking of installing them. I am terrible at reiterating explanations, so he can watch this on his own, from someone who is actually using them...so thank you so much! Please give Dillon a hug for me! 💖Enjoy that sunshine! 😊 Thank you for sharing...stay safe, take really good care!
Thank you for a wonderful vlog, it was very informative and helpful with out getting to into all the technical stuff that can confuse.Colin you do a wonderful job explaining things, I hope you will do more like this about canal boats and life.Thanks for making the present troubles nicer.
Wonderfully done, Colin! We love that some of your videos are so educational. We have no need for solar panels but this helps to understand how they work. Thank you! PS Thanks to Shaun for asking for layman’s terms!! LOL
Great to see you guys during the week! Really interesting vlog, the solar set up on Silver Fox is very nicely done 👍🏻 take care and be good to see you soon with another vlog. Stay safe guys 👍🏻
Great VLOG Colin. My Missus moans every time we see solar panels saying they are an eyesore. I must show her yours. You don’t even know they are there! Darn sight better than running the bloody engine!! John- NB Cherry
You guys do have the nicest looking boat on the canals and the flexible panels help in that matter as well. It is good to see you can still sit next to each other. lol. Take care and God Bless, Paul from Florida,
A very informative vlog boys. Well explained. Collins, you could of been a school teacher. Keep up with your Day In The Life vlogs, we love hearing from you.
Hi Colin and Shaun,I enjoyed watching your brilliant blog,so interesting to see how the solar panels work on your narrowboat,just awesome, Stay safe and carry on entertaining your bloggers
I fully understand that when you build such a beautifull boat you don't want to destroy the slick looks with these rigid panels! And the flexibles you have work fantastic! Well done!
Colin and Shaun, That was one of your best videos yet, you're getting even more confident with a very slick presentation style. You must have spent an awful lot of time on researching the technicalities of your solar panels, besides putting into words your own experiences as users of them. Thanks a lot you two, now what's on the agenda for next week?
Hey you guys it's Tuesday!!! I know I'm going crazy in lockdown but are you trying to confuse me more than I am already? Anyway lovely to see you today & interesting although I'm not electrically minded or claim to understand it but I'm happy to see you are keeping us & yourselves interested. Keep safe,stay happy.x
First of all, I love your boat! Everytime I see it it looks so good! I like the way your solar is so unobtrusive to the roof of the boat, it helps maintain those sleek lines! Your explanation of the solar was perfect. Thanks for the great video! Stay safe!
I'm most unlikely to ever put what you've imparted to work but it was darned interesting and should I ever want it, I know where it is. Late to the party, nice bit of nature study with the goose, last vlog and I've never studied the finer points of lock operation, just know they work so thanks for that. Keep safe guys.
Great info.... sounds like they are working out very well for you. I quite like the flexible panel approach, it's much more aesthetically pleasing. Silver Fox is absolutely the best looking narrowboat in the cut.
I first started watching narrowboat videos when researching solar power options (Journey with Jono!). Your system looks to be simple, yet powerful - something you don't have to fiddle with, and you get good results.
Great vlog, really informative, and well explained, for me the flexible panels are more appealing to the eye and are less obtrusive as they do not spoil the original clean lines of the narrowboat due to their low profile., I am not a great fan of the fixed ridged panels you see stuck at 45 degrees on the roof of a narrowboat, I personally think they look horrid.. Stay safe…. :-)
Guys I've been waiting patiently for this vlog for ages... Absolutely cracking video you really get the details across in all your descriptive vlogs in a way a layman can understand, thankyou👌... Hope the leg is healing OK...😁👍.
Thanks guys for another very interesting and informative vlog, I think that you'd use less diesel to power your boat with your very light weight panels that will cause alot less drag against the wind also. Take care and all the best. Stevie
@@Krieghandt Sorry dear chap but the drag on a canal or river boat especially at low speed is crucial, anything upwards of the roof surface of a narrowboat or a river cruiser acts like a sail, try helming one. We're not talking about speed boats. Steve
Fascinating vlog as always, you are really good at explaining the technicalities in ways that folk can understand. I also feel envious of you two sitting there in the Sun, next to a fantastic narrowboat on a lovely looking slice of canal. Keep 'em coming!
I have rigid panels which generate a lot of power (as much as rated output +25%), but I do like your tidy installation - really clean and neat, with nothing to catch on bridges or tunnels. I was put off the idea of flexible ones, as I was told they don't like being heated by the steel roof - but your evidence seems to refute that. Might be worth a re-think...
Yeah, there's a lot of information still going around for the old style panels. Our roof gets so hot that you can't touch it, but the panels performance is unaffected. last weekend one of our 120W panels was bringing in 145W at 12.30pm while the roof was red hot.
@@FoxesAfloat Just had a look at the dimensions... the trade-off is that my rigid panels produce more power per square metre than the flexible ones. Yours are peaking at 161W/m2, mine are 251W/m2. Even quality rigid panels like Panasonic are also much cheaper to buy (per Watt), but do look messy in comparison. Given your relatively low power consumption, no doubt you made the right choice.
Hello Sunshine! This vlog was electrifying and so very illuminating. But do the panels work at night? I'm thinking maybe not but watt do I know? You're probably plugged in to the shocking state of current events so please 'Stay Safe, Keep Grounded' - that's the mains thing. Thanks for the vlog. Cheers, Hollers.
One of the aspects of your boat that is striking, is the clean and sleek line. Those roof hugging panels look like they belong to the boat. I suspect they are not inexpensive, but they sure look good.
Hi guys, I can definitely think of worse places to moor up 😉. With the panels I know this will be a silly question but do the panels still generate any power when it's cloudy ??. Thanks for sharing this very useful information. Stay safe and take care, much love. xx🙏🏼💖
Sold me, nice work and excellent video. One question, without the engine running is there enough power to heat your water or do you use the gas/diesel burner
The engine heats the water but we also have a separate diesel powered system for water and radiator heating which isn't connected to the engine or solar, although I'd love to be able to install a thermal solar heating system one day 👍🏻
Another excellent vlog, Colin. I have traveled for years with solar panels on my RV here in the western US and thought I knew quite a bit about it, but I was very pleased to learn a couple of new things from your superb post. As always, thanks for your beautifully-produced presentations, gentlemen.
One of the best how to vlogs. I for one understand the work and planning it has taken to make this and other videos. You certainly dont have to explain any shortcomings you may have either as we all have them and I hate generators as well and other things but you guys are a lesson to us all. Thanks you for being who you are and for what you are doing. Your ways of explaining things without the down sides etc is supreme. I wish I had your skills and ways of explaining what to some is a mundane subject. Stay safe both of you,
Really interesting vlog - cheers guys ! OK I'm sold on the idea of flexible solar panels & have put in an order with Midsummer Energy. Oh wait a minute - I forgot that I don't own a boat !! 😎😱👍👍
Great informative vlog guys ! Solar is the future. Imagine a building roof tiled in solar panels, electric cars with solar roofs to charge batteries while parked. I think this is just the start of things to come 👍
Thank you boys for the update, I personally like the flexible panels. They make a clean look and seem to have held up well thru the first year and you don't have to muck about with them other than washing debris off them. Stay safe and healthy.... Cheers...
One of your best ever edits! Loved the washing machines. Awesome job explaining the solar set up, very interesting. Watched vlog #2 yesterday with your water world footage. Please bring back the curls.
Thanks Collin for the information, what a life you guys have ,enjoy so we can enjoy with you , by to Shaun and a kiss for Dillon greetings from Benjamin from the Netherlands 🛥🛥🛥🕊🕊🕊🐶
Great advice superbly delivered..great vlog.... personally I would prefer the flexible panels because they look a lot tidier making the roof less cluttered... good to hear that they can in the right circumstances work as well or at least keep up with the angled rigid panels... get well soon Colin.. take care guys..
Great VLOG guys! Love your narrowboat, and your solar panels look way better than the rigid type and if they are as efficient it's a no brainer. Keep up the good work, always look forward to your new VLOGs. One day I will have saved up enough to buy my own narrowboat but till then I will just dream and watch you. Just used your Amazon link and have bookmarked it. x
This is a pleasant surprise and very interesting as well I can see your both hard at work , I really liked the Silver Fox name etched into the roof very stylish it's a shame it can,t be seen under normal circumstances. Don't work to hard lads
Loved to detect the top name tag, too. It must be made for drone flight - how else to identify their boat? ;) These panels, adapting to the roof's shape, contribute to the elegant outlook. Stay safe!
Right! That's me sold on flexible panels - another advantage is they're a lot less nickable. Another really informative vid. Your production standards are amazing.
Thank you boys, I find your films very interesting to watch, and informative. I have never written anything about films on UA-cam, so this is a first for me, well done. Charles.
I tend to limit my comments, but this explanation was simply outstanding. Educators should take your lead for clarity.
That's so kind. Thanks, William 💜
Agree my simple mind understood 👌
I've never noticed the name Silver Fox on the roof before!! Nice touch!😊
Understated 😉
@@FoxesAfloat I very much like how everything you do is considered and well thought out! There is a great finish to everything you do!

Thanks mate! 👍🏻💜
I was really impressed with how clean the installation was, I can't see anyway to improve it.
Usual high calibre vlog ,you have a knack of making highly technical subjects understandable , thanks and keep well .
Much appreciated. Take care ☀️ 💜😛
Thank you very much - this is the exact vlog I have hoped you would produce one day. It’s informative and it’s comparative .... and it’s ideal. Thank you again.
No problem. I hope you got something from it 👍🏻
A big thumbs up from me. These are the kind of vlogs I like the best and handily for me, I think you do best too. I sometimes think you missed your vocation and somewhere up north a classroom exists that should have had you in it teaching.
Thank you so much! Not with today's generation of kids though 😬
This is an application that should be more universally adapted to residential and small businesses that will help reduce the world’s dependence on fossil fuels. A great byproduct is that during power outages homes and small businesses can have some limited power to supply essential needs like computers and refrigeration. Clearly, there are some limits, but I think all new construction should allow for solar applications with appropriate tax incentives. In the states such applications and incentives are already in place. Great blog!
I totally agree!
Thanks, that was valuable to watch.love the look on Silver Fox. Can’t understand why some people could give it a thumbs down!??
I appreciate that! Ah, most of those are in the first few minutes after posting, so they haven't even watched it yet. It's the same sad haters every week. It doesn't bother us at all so don't worry about it 😛💜
That is one beautiful boat! I love the "Silver Fox" Logo on the roof.
Thank you very much!
That Silver Fox logo on the cabin top caught my eye as well. It is little details like that that make things stand out from others.

This is a pleasant surprise and very interesting as well I can see your both hard at work , I really liked the Silver Fox name etched into the roof very stylish it's a shame it can,t be seen under normal circumstances.
Don't work to hard lads
We like understated 😉
Loved to detect the top name tag, too. It must be made for drone flight - how else to identify their boat? ;)
These panels, adapting to the roof's shape, contribute to the elegant outlook.
Stay safe!
Great to see you are safe guys! Like you all the tech stuff goes over my head quicker than a jet fighter! However, very informative. Stay safe! :)
LOL! Back to normal on Friday 😂
Right! That's me sold on flexible panels - another advantage is they're a lot less nickable. Another really informative vid. Your production standards are amazing.
Glad it was helpful! thank you SO much! 👍🏻
Thank you boys, I find your films very interesting to watch, and informative. I have never written anything about films on UA-cam, so this is a first for me, well done. Charles.
