Big progress on my solar driven pontoon river boat

Thank you! I have soon finished a motorized 8 meter sculler hull i will use as a "testbed" for future projects. It will probable see water in a couple of weeks.

 

How robust are these panels? I've no experience of them but assumed they would crack if walked on/Fallen on.

Bye the way I should have said well done. You have made something that is sensible even though it can clearly be improved, which, after all is the object of the exercise.

 

You can lean gently on the panels. I know they are walked on by kids, because i saw the shoe marks in the dust on the panels Maybe five - sex years old kids. I was very lucky they did not cracked.

Earlier one panel has been cracked by kids throwing a sharp stone. It was only 3 x 5 cm. The panel was replaced.
