2016 Yamaha 242SE - Solar Panel Replacement!

[Ky2fl22]

Anyone have to replace one of your solar panels by chance? If so where did you get it from? Any other options than going Yamaha brand ($500)? Thanks!



one is good, one is bad it seems. The batteries still stay charged, but it looks like this. Figured I’d probably just replace it.

Perhaps you can find a same size replacement online? It's just a solar panel so any matching size and type should work fine.

One item to check is the fuse I pulled my batteries during a sunny day to test what battery bank was being charged. I had 0 volts so I thought it was all show no go. But then I probed the connecter on the port side and had close to 17v. Digging around info was found about the fuse and it was burnt out. What must happen, when the batteries are removed and the loose battery terminals touch during a sunny day it will pop the fuse. They produce a decent amount of current I hooked up a 12v bulb and it was very bright got hot and burned through a tarp instantly. The battery may even get over charged. But any solar panel should work just find the correct size for mounting newer models only have one large panel.

Anyone know the wattage of the solar panel?
