Uh, wouldn’t 2 kyocera 135’s on each side of the bimini be 270 watts all by themselves?
And, I don’t know what your bimini looks like, but I plan on at least 2, possibly 3 large panels for and aft on the bimini. I currently have a 110 watt shell across the davits and HATE it, it’s totally in the way trying to do anything with the dinghy. I plan on making a frame to elevate it up out of the way a bit.

I perused the discussion boards at SSCA and picked up a few useful tips, but the research continues. Size limitations are a bit problematic. I want to mount four panels over portions of the bimini top, port & starboard, plus two more on the dodger hardtop I built. I figure the maximum dimensions I can fit in these spaces are:
(2) 26 x 26 – dodger top
(2) 18 x 30 – 1st bimini station
(2) 24 x 48 – 2nd bimini station
An inch or two smaller in any of these measurements would be fine. Obviously these are all small panels, but I hope I can get maybe 200 watts out of the combined total. That – along with the wind generator, alternator and (maybe) Honda 2000 – ought to keep me in ice cubes living at anchor in the tropics.
