2018 242 Limited SE - I am looking for a solar panel, either OEM or something that will fit. Anyone have any hookups or ideas? Dealer is telling me they are NA even though it is technically still under warranty.

Why does it need to be replaced ? The reason I ask is that on my 2017 I thought the solar panels were not working when I probed the battery terminals with no batteries to see what bank it charged and had no voltage to any of the batteries I thought the panel was bad . Turns out it was a blown fuse if you disconnect the batteries and touch any of the connectors together by mistake on a sunny day it will burn the fuse out. I checked the connector on the starboard side and it had power.

On a sunny day it produced a decent amount to even power my 12v shower and it pushed the water further than I have ever seen do to the aprox 15V in full sunlight
