For installation Canalsidesolar can help you. xCrispy N. replied:Bimble Solar.Zebedee W. replied:Marky Too Buttons with Bimble SolarMarky B. replied:Thanks for the tag Zebedee & Mike. Hi Hatt, we've been installing solar for sometime and have done quite a few(!) boats in the London area. We're happy to pop down and offer advice on what your needs, and therefore your requirements are. We don't make any commission, happy to help you shop around (though we've been doing this for years now and can't find a better balance between quality and price than Bimble Solar) and charge a flat installation fee. We also use tilting frames so you get the most from the winter sun but ours are 316L stainless steel for added security. We've got a few photos on our Facebook and Instagram so feel free to check us out@canalsidesolar and give us a call. We've an office on the Lea and I'll be cycling all around Hackney and Viccy Park this week offering advice to boaters if you fancy giving us a call and arranging a quick chat.

I am aware its cheaper to buy the kits and fit them yourself but I'm not competent with electric's for 240v/inverter etc and would rather have someone who can offer a receipt or warranty just incase. Also flexi VS rigid panels? Is there really a difference with the output? Im onboard Bohemian at LV if anyone wants to chat to me in person.

What do i need and where can i buy it from ??David D. replied:Www.bimblesolar.com are the best, look at their web site for special offers. Hair driers consume a lot of power, check the wattage and then get an inverter that suits. But you need a big bank of batteries, get the biggest solar panel that you have space for.
