Solar Panel Installation on Leopard 48 Catamaran | EP52
Our Leopard 48 Catamaran came with several flex solar panels, which sound good on a list of boat features, in practice, did little to no good when you wanted to stay on anchor for an extended period of time.
So, like all good catamaran owners, we added more solar! Our goal was to generate enough power with a reasonable amount of sunshine to stay on anchor for weeks!
The video shows how we built the structure, talks about the reason we chose aluminum over stainless steel, shares our cad drawings and material list, and gives you the final view of the finished installation.
This project, combined with our lithium battery upgrade, means we can sail worry free (at least when it comes to power).
