Solar and Wind for long trips *Pictures & Video*

[TheChuckNorris]

Have you guys seen this Solar Stik Marine System? This thing uses wind and solar power, it doesn't look like it takes a lot of space either. I like the idea of adjusting the solar panels towards the sun to get more power, since my boat isn't all that big to put regular panels. Plus, they say you can take out the solar stik and use it off your boat! Check out the image of it next to the RV! I'm planning to go to the Bahamas soon and think this might work pretty good. What do you guys think?

Neato. Although, I wish I had a yacht to put it on :/

Sounds a lot like an advertisement. Tell us about your boat and your planned trip.

What are your power requirements? Those are 50 watt panels, which is under ideal conditions. Throw them on a rolling boat and consider they aren't tracking, and your actual average power output might be 1/4 that. 25 watts is barely a trickle charge for a large battery bank.
