A question about:
Guard Rail Netting / braided and welded
Gordon M.
on Feb 20, 2019
I wish to buy Guard rail netting . I have measured the required length of 20 metres .
Do I have to order more than 20M to allow for stretching ?
Thanks Gordon

No, you need no extra lenght to fix it. The net is quite flexible to fit. Best, Pavel

Depends on the guard rail hight. Without stretching, it is sufficient to cover the rail of a certain hight (check with SVB) . My experience from practice with the rail hight of 0.65m was approx 30% extra compared to the measured lenght. I think (for a different manufacturer) the youtube movie can explain you a lot on the principle:

A question about:
Solar Panel SW-20185 / 120 W
Gordon M.
on Nov 30, 2021
I would prefer to buy this German product for what I believe will be a better quality manufacture .
My Q is
Can this 100w model be attached to a Sumbrella fabric bimini or would it become very hot.
I am from Scotland but will be using this on my small yacht in Greece
Thank you
Gordon

Hello Gordon, of course the dark PV cells get warm when exposed to direct sunlight and also give off this heat to the underside of the module. Nevertheless, many customers place their semi-flexible solar modules directly on the bimini and have no problems with this. But there is another reason not to place modules >50 W directly on the bimini or to hang them freely on the railing or elsewhere. This applies to semi-flexible modules from all manufacturers!!! Powerful semi-flexible modules are very thin and long. This means they can easily be bent back and forth. If, for example, the wind moves the fabric of the bimini, the module is also moved with it. These constant, albeit small, movements can cause irreparable interruptions inside the module. Modules damaged in this way are not covered by the warranty! But you can easily solve the problem and brace #20714# by mounting it on a very light 3 mm thick aluminium sandwich panel. We don't have these panels in our range, but they are offered online eg. under the name Alubond or Dibond. However, there is another excellent solution to the problem: SUNWARE has developed modules in its TX series that can be used on the bimini without any hesitation. See https://www.svb24.com/en/sunware-solar-module-tx22052-100-wp.html or https://en.sunware.solar/produkte/bimini_solarmodule
