Jak Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 I’m a big fan of these guys. https://www.photonicuniverse.com/en/catalog/list/category/folding-solar-kits They have a range of kits and mounting brackets. My panel kit was installed 5 years ago and a small upgrade more recently. Very pleased with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth collecting from their base near Lewes as transport on panels is particularly expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found that it is not difficult to get deliveries on the cut / river as you can use a pub, hotel, etc etc post code or even what-three-words and the couriers will bring it to you. Just tell them to call you X minutes before arrival and you can walk down and meet them - that is exactly what we do with Asda Food deliveries.

AlX Posted May 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Thanks a lot for your replies. Could you also recommend someone to install solar panels (apart from Ron Gooding who's been mentioned but is currently not close to London where my boat is)?

Should have been "Who can supply and fit a solar panel in Londone please?", perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
