Stern rail - simplifies wiring and out of the way

In Response To: solar panel location (walt26scolorado)

I don't have a picture with the new "micro 30 watt panel" but it's only twice as long as the 5 watt unit in the picture.

A benefit of this location is the outboard and panel share one wire back to the battery. The charge controller is in the aft locker.

Rarely has a shadow on it either...
