Good morning


New to this site, just signed on for a new 508.....with delivery for april 19 in med.

Looking for recommendations from you experts.I believe we have 2 options for solar panels.

 1)The preferred option is installing panels on coach roof in front dodger.

2)Panels installed on the bimini roof.

We really do not want to install davits or a support for panels.The option 1 is the preferred as, we can sail without the bimini .

Comments positive or neg......are welcome......pictures of installations are even more welcome.

Excited to join the Hanse family.

Hi Marc,

I am going to install two panels from Solbian on my bimini. The panels are very thin and have a zip on two sides. End of October I can tell you more.

Greetings

Hi Marc

I have tons of trouble getting my new 508 commisioned.
Eg the swimming platform nobody here seem to be able to fix.
Have you had any trouble with that?

Kind regards

Hi,

There is a 3rd option which we used.  Mounting a Panasonic 330W single panel on top of the dodger.  We had to also install two forward stuts parrallel to the window zippers and two aft struts to support the aft frame.  The downside is you can no longer fold your dodger down, but that is an option we never utilized.
