Wrong.

Anyone can hit "quote" then the icon for basic editor, see that it's hot-linked from another post, then go back to the original post & delete the attachment, thus breaking all subsequent hot-linked postings of the image.

How do you intend to dispose of the ones you can't use?

I'll set them on the street with a 'FREE' sign and someone will take them.
People will take nearly anything.


Otherwise, I have a small [2 yard] dumpster I can feed them to gradually.

I got the dumpster because it was only about $10 per month more than regular trash service and it allows me the convienience of dumpster-diving at home instead of traveling.
:D

My wife throws stuff in there and when I go to dispose of something I find it...
HEY!! LOOKY THERE!!
:)

I've pulled some good stuff out of there that I haven't seen in ages.
;)
 
:stare1:

How many of those can you fit behind a load of racks? o_O

Cuz that looks like an awning for my raft. :D

What if you mounted 2 or 3 on pontoons consisting of PVC pipe?
Low profile.
Minimal draw.
You could even fill the PVC with foam in case the integrity ever failed.

I bet the little bit of power produced would be used by the trolling motor towing it.

Good way to get it to a campsite though.

On a 3 day campout on the river it would good for powering the stereo. Don't know what kind of voltage/wattage those things would produce though. Might be enough to recharge the batteries after the trip from the launch point, which is downstream & only requires the motor for steerage.
 
I did the math on that 3 panel kit at Harbor Freight.

45 watts total. 12 volts. That's 3.75 amps.

The ratings are probably for peak output in direct sunlight.

That'll run the raft stereo. At max volume it draws 4.5 amps if the digital ammeter I put in my camper is accurate. 1.5 amps at a normal volume.

No idea what your panels produce but they're bigger than the ones at Harbor Freight.
