Solar Cells

The solar cells arrived! 200 monocrystalline 4watts per cell. this gets 800 of the 1200 watts needed. We'll get into the solar array later! put those on the shelf for now.

One of the thoughts is to keep this an entirely solar powered boat. It's un-likley we will get enough power from only solar to keep any sort of decent speed. Perhaps the solar system will become a back-up system for propulsion if the main system fails.

More thoughts on the solar array later as we progress...
