Someone needs to make it a little thinner and combine it with a vinyl wrap. Then you could wrap your boat and take advantage of all of that surface area without having to deal with a massive sail.LL Bean (Perception) Manatee DLX Angler 9.5'

Since your PA has most of the other accessories already, how about adding a T-top for the solar panel.John Veil

Since Torqeedo makes the Evolve for Hobie, they don't want to sell a product for a Hobie kayak and tick off Hobie. Hobie on the other hand treats the PA owners like a bastard child. Many of the expensive accessories the advertise for the PA are either poorly made or just don't fit. The cover, sidekick don't fit properly ant the evolve won't work on the back ....... The hd carts were tack welded and they broke and the livewell has priming problems and have burst at the seems etc. ......... I don't think they are interested ......... As you can tell ....... I'm through with Hobie Accessories unless they are proven to work as advertised.
You'd think they would cater to us considering how much the PA's cost. I love the boat, but it cost four times more than my first car! Then again, the PA is probably faster and certainly more comfy than my '84 cavalier was...LL Bean (Perception) Manatee DLX Angler 9.5'

If you could "print" it so to speak and wire it similar to LED's where you can cut between every "x" LED, you could have a built to fit solar panel that could be used on cars, buses, etc. Anywhere you could stick a piece of vinyl. You would have to then have a control pack that would act as a transformer to output the right voltage, etc.

A way to mount the solar panel, you could build a small bimini top using ram mounts and light weight aluminum tubes and mount it over the storage area in the rear of your kayak. So if ever, you can stand and stretch out and have something protect whatever you have in the back from the sun. Like maybe a cooler. Or tons of tackle.Jason
