Oh my…a monohull! Very informative. Loved the tip on the pvc board. Could you get the numbers on the panels and run down how the 100/50’s were chosen over a 100/30 MPPT? Do the bifacials increase the current that much over the rated 480watts of the front side?
Those are Q-Cell 480W bifacial panels. A 100/30 MPPT would be undersized on this 12V system. Looking at this client's VRM data remotely for today, one of the panels hit a max power output of 584W... so yeah! It happens frequently that they exceed their 480W rating (at least once a week for them it looks like in their data), but it usually doesn't last for long as they heat up and reduce their output. Most commonly that happens mid-day right after a rain shower if you get bright clear skies.
@@FrankTheYachtRigger that’s awesome. I guessed the Q cell (480w) and I think undersizing, in any case, will let them get as much amps as they can when the sun is shining and the dinghy and water are reflecting. (Confession: I work so much in 24v that I didn’t think it through before I asked. New rule: coffee first on Sunday morning!)
Thanks for that. It was very helpful.
I like the modularity of that setup!
I would like to see the PVC setup before the install, it's a great idea! Thanks for sharing your expertise...
Coming soon!
👍thank you
Hello, I would have a technical question. For a `LEOPARD 50Do you know in how many pieces are each hull built? And the assembly of the parts ?
Could you disclose what this project cost? Nice install by the way!
A setup like this with the Super Sail arch, hoisting system, panels, wiring, controllers, etc - the FULL PACKAGE is right around $19k.
Was the arch custom made? Where did it come from?

Would like to learn more bout that pvc step. Thanks
