Winning 50% off a set of the firefly batteries would be perfect timing. I suspected my lead/acid batteries were about toast so I installed a Xantrex battery monitor and after a few cycles it’s pretty clear ther are way down on capacity. I’ll be buying batteries soon regardless but winning sure would help the kitty.

Three of these puppies will fit nicely replacing the age-unknown back which will need to go next year!

My boat is too small for many panels, but with the 300 I could let my Yanmar get rusty!

Re: OCEANPLANET ENERGY GIVEAWAY - Ends 8/26

You want to click here to see this great product:
Ultra-S Series Solar Panels-Max performance on a small surface

These panels look perfect for a new installation on my boat. I'm looking for maximum power and great low-light behaviour in a cell just like these! They have exceptional durability in tropical climates and a phenomenal energy return for the size of the panels. Plus, a 26 year performance warranty. Great looking product overall.

Would like to upgrade from our PWM controller as I'm frightened it will blow up. The higher efficiency of MPPT + programmable would be real good as well. Maybe I wouldn't have to shift the panels so much & have more beer drinking time

Re: OCEANPLANET ENERGY GIVEAWAY - Ends 8/26

I'd love to have one of these hydrogenerators to supplement our solar panels on long passages, I think it would be a game-changer!

I’m in the process of rebuilding a 30 ft bene and I am impressed with all that Ocean Planet Energy has to offer. But if I had to narrow it down to just one item I think it would have to be these firefly batteries. Being able to run them down past 50 % and still bring them back is a real game changer. It gives more useable amp hours within the half the footprint of other batteries. Put me in for the 50% off! I might even consider going with electric propulsion.
