[RE-wrenches] Golf Cart Array

[Carl Hansen]

    I did that once for a client, I used 3 Yingli 75s , they fit well 
but the array turned out to be to heavy for the Golf Carts roof frame, 
stress cracks started showing up.  I think I still have the 36 volt 
charge controller, built by Solar Converters, it never got installed, if 
you happen to need one its available.

I'm OK with a bit of overhang the 65" dimension, but not side to side as it will be a head bumper getting in and out. Don't want to put anything less than 150W up there and more, of course, is mo betta. Got an MPPT controller embedded in so higher voltage is not an issue. My first thought is to find three old M55s which are only 13" wide, but I'm open to whatever. The beauty of the M55s would be they are UPS-able. So... anybody got some? Other suggestions? Got lots of trading stock.
