Ep. 27 - Our Power Plan Pt. 1 - Gone with the Wind's Solar System

We discuss Gone with the Wind's Solar System. On an electric sailboat, power is important. We currently supply our power needs via solar energy and multiple battery banks. We decided our older eight 100 watt panels aren't going to support our power demands and upgrade them. Our choice of solar panel is the Panasonic N325 HIT 325watt Monocrystalline. We purchased four panels online from Northern Arizona Wind & Sun. After installation and some tech support from NAWS we decide to upgrade our Outback charge controller to the Midnite Solar Classic 150. We test out our new solar system after installing the new charge controller and like what we see!

We started our Youtube channel, Big Easy Sailing, to document our journey on our 1972 Gulfstar 36 sailboat. We've been together for 20 years and moved everywhere from our hometown of New Orleans to Alaska to Denver to Florida. Now our home will travel with us as we travel across beautiful blue waters.
