1. Create storage space for second folding solar panel. By slightly moving the front fire extinguisher the panel in its carry case sits neatly against the side under the gunwale.
2. Consider replacing the ground wire from the bus bar in the electrics cupboard to the current sensing resistor on the battery ground. Defer pending acquisition of larger cable termination rings
3. Fit solar power cutoff switch (as per Victron Smartsolar spec).
4. Test the two panels wired in series. Considering this is now winter and the sun is low they performed well and are quite capable of powering domestic services during the day and maintaining batteries in float mode.
