Advise on Solar Mounts ....
We scored three 250w solar panels in exchange for some work. This is great as this is how we like to pay for things. Before you get all jiggy on that I'll tell you that Cat is an Electrical Enginee...

Shrouds are often made of inferior material. Either vinyl or lower-end fiberglass (not the kind used on average FG boat). After 3-4 years in the Southern sun it becomes brittle and cracks. Black color for roof A/C wasn't a good idea either.
Yeah, that thing has taken a beating. We added a shroud to the front vent. Not sure why it wasn't there. The guy moved the one from the bathroom up there so it would be black. Personally I want to replace all that stuff up there with nice new stuff and it will all be white. I think the previous owner's black fetish went just a bit too far.
There are new A/C shrouds in black at the supply store but I'm not sure I like them. The little solar panel on the shroud now isn't doing anything. It is supposed to be charging the engine battery. It isn't.
