[E03] - To be self-sufficent at sea, we need more power!
We are going to build and install a massive arch that fits enough solar panels, and also store our dinghy. There are many designs and lots of work involved, but does it have to be that complicated?
Recently we found Baltic Solar Arches that produce standardized solar arches, according to our own measurements. With just some measurements we made ourselves, they produce a complete arch for us that fits perfectly. But to install an arch we need to be in the water, and to be in the water we need to do a lot of fixing...
We actually spotted this arch back in 2021, and have since then used it as a reference to what we would like. It turns out that the arch we spotted back then was actually Mikkels own at Baltic Solar Arches. They use a standardized manufacturing process, and still customized for each individual arch.
