Yo all, and thanks for looking.
I'm figuring that someone here deals with/in solar panels. We're looking for a few for our boat. When we are away from the dock, and/or anchored far from town, we'd like to have a few solar panels to operate our "Ukrainian Air Conditioning" and possibly 'top up' our battery bank.
I've tried a few different venue's (local, for many hundreds of dollars each) to aliexpress at 40 dollars each, and after 3 months they didn't deliver.
So, before I go down the next rabbit-hole, I'm asking this group as I'm figuring SOMEONE will either have something, or know someone....
And yeah, I'm looking at making an independent system including 12v pump(s) with 12v fans circulating a 'closed loop' through a pair of heater-core style radiators. The pump(s) will be in a drop-leg that'll use the temp difference of the river as a carrier. All running off of an independent 12v battery(s) to do this.
I'm not looking to refrigerate eggs, or make ice. I'm just looking at making the galley and stateroom of our boat to be 'some degrees cooler' than the ambient air temp.
And if I CAN support the locals/compadre's, in a reasonable manner, then I will. And happy to do such.
