Simon,
Do you cruise in sunnier climes or are we talking the often overcast UK.
We find the fridge depletes our 2 leisure batteries in 24 hours and running the engine at anchor for an hour or so only partially recharges (as well as being noisy and antisocial).
A panel that keeps the fridge going when anchored for a few days would be wonderful, not to mention being able to listen to the radio!
Cost-wise – is this a cheaper option than a wind generator when you factor in all the bits and pieces, would you say?
