The crazy thing is that the marine grade stainless steel brackets I need to hold the panels in place cost more than the panels. Costs so far:
Renogy Solar Panels 400 Watt N-Type $352.99
Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT Charge Controller 150V, 35A $152.90
8 Hinged split side rail mount w/hex head bolt, 1" $418.03😳
Martin will build out my existing panel rack with more materials and bill me for that and his labor. With 400 W of solar on the roof, I should never need shore power again. (2/3)
