We installed the BIGGEST solar panels EVER
What started as a crazy idea 3 months ago has finally come to life — we decided to cover our boat in as much solar power as possible! ⚡☀️
In this video, we take you behind the scenes as we design, fabricate, and install a massive custom stainless-steel solar arch that holds 2,360 watts of bi-facial solar panels. From the first measurements to the final bolt, this was one of the biggest projects we’ve ever tackled.
Huge thanks to Alex from Marine Structures for making our wild idea a reality. The result? More power, more shade, and a boat that’s almost ready for off-grid living. 🌊⚓
