Re: Solar Panels NT-37
500 watts seems like pretty good capacity, I might ask are you sure you
need more solar… or do you really need more battery storage capacity?

For some time, I've been trying to get my hands on a set of wiring diagrams
showing the attachment points of the system to both charging and, if
separate, DC supply. I ended up in the forum several times to ask if any
NT42 owners who upgraded their SidePower on/off bow thrusters to
proportional and fore/aft, hoping someone might have the pertinent wiring
diagram and be willing to share. Several of you were a HUGE help with a
past diagram request when I was looking for prints from nearby hull numbers
for the entire electrical system. Unfortunately, nobody could provide the
thruster diagrams, though several replied they'd appreciate a copy of the
diagrams I was seeking if I ultimately secured them, so here you go. Hope
they help.
I asked the installer a few times by email but never got a reply. To be
clear right here, one of the partial-handful marine service providers
(MSPs) I would enthusiastically recommend is New England Bow Thruster and
for concrete reasons. I have to assume I screwed something up trying to
contact them... they've been too good to assume otherwise. If the rest of
the MSPs I've tried to work with were half as skilled and ethical, my boat
would not be for sale. I should post a complete review some time. Anyway, I
still wanted the prints a few weeks ago and called. A gentleman named Nate
answered and immediately 100% owned the problem and assured me it would get
handled quickly. No possible way for me to have been more delighted by his
concern or the caliber of the work he returned to me only days later. Way
to go Nate.
The prints are in the blog so-noted

And.. I've added a second purchasing option that involves a significant
discount.. noted in a blog adjacent to the one holding the prints.
Safe boating,

I installed 580 watts of solar on the pilothouse roof (no flybridge). This setup gave us a full (100%) recharge most days from late May to mid September, (usually by 1-2 PM) except on those days we had heavy cloud or fog. We did not use the inverter, and most of our load was the fridge and a small additional deep freeze.
We ran the generator mostly for hot water and/or to bulk charge the bank on those foggy days.
However, of all the boaters I talked with about solar, I have never met one who said they installed too much:)

Thanks for the question. We have our fridge, separate freezer and an Engel portable freezer in the tank room. Also, some microwave use + tv etc. i have 660amp battery capacity. Many days we hit 100% by mid to late afternoon, but I’d like extra capacity.
As Tom Easterbrook says, I’ve never heard anyone complain about too much solar capacity.
