[Rhodes22-list] Solar Panels

[Jesse Shumaker]

Hi Joe,

I think you can still get the solar panels that came mounted from the
factory at the link below.

Here's the 30W panel I added on a SS mount over the stern rail.  This has
worked well and seems to be a good value.

I paired these with solar shutoff breakers and Renogy solar controllers.

Good luck with your project.
