Hello,
I am looking to purchase a flex solar panel system (panel, controller and cables) mainly as a battery charger. I would put this on top of my dodger and I will pull the boom over to the opposite side.
Has anyone bought one recently that they would recommend?
I am on a mooring and you all know that charging situ!

Thank you

On a mooring it might work better just laying it on the foredeck, less shading??

I commented in reply 13 of the same thread pbyrne referenced above. I installed 2 Renogy flexible 175W panels on my bimini.

I will second the Renogy suggestion.  I have had 3-100 watt flex panels on our dodger and Bimini.  They work well and keep the bank of four gc-2s fully charges in spite of the fridge being turned on since May.
