**5/9/26 This page hasn’t been updated for a while…. I’ve Added one of latest jobs done but check out my Instagram to see the solar installs I’ve been getting up to in 2026. https://www.instagram.com/four_counties_marine/**
Quality of components; My elegant & unique low profile stainless steel mounting system; And the attention-to-detail with which I carry out the work set my installs apart from the competition. My brackets fit the panel’s factory fitted mounting points – unlike popular A-frame brackets where panel frames are drilled. And all my solar installations look fabulous.
September 2026 – 2880W Solar install on Nb. Orla.
Efficiency of the latest generation of panel is fantastic. With Lithium Batteries or Electric Propulsion you really need as much solar as possible. Nb. Orla is a series hybrid electric propulsion boat and I fit 6*480W panels through the original Victron 250/100 controller.
Removing the 1 year old 5* 300W flexible system installed by the boatbuilder which couldn’t keep up with demands when the boat was stationary throughout the incredibly sunny 2026 Summer.
May 2025 – Standard 1800 Watt 4-panel fixed price system.
With lithium batteries the size of the systems have got bigger and bigger. This 4 panel system on a 58ft Collingwood boat is a good example. Victron 150/100 SmartSolar controller. Panels perfectly fitted and look great. Powering all electric Galley and providing immersion heater hot water + aircon options for the Summer heatwaves.
June 2025 – Standard 900 Watt 2-panel fixed price system.
Simple liveaboard totally off-grid Narrowboat running a Shoreline fridge & working from home with Apple Macbook + broadband. This system supports the boat virtually all year round. 2-panels neatly fitted on my s/s bracket set. Victron 100/50 SmartSolar controller gives my customer all the information they need.
October 2023 – Standard 850 Watt 2-panel fixed price system.
By far the most common system I fit and suited to lead acid batteries. 425W Perlight panels are mounted on my low profile stainless steel bracket set. My brackets adapt to all roof profiles right upto that of the extreme Liverpool-boat. Panels mounted perfectly and inline in all planes. Aluminium enclosure with metal cable glands. Isolator switch between panels and controller. Victron 100/50 SmartSolar controller. Tinned 16mm cable and Midi fuse holder between controller and batteries.
August ’23. Standard 1700 Watt 4-panel fixed price system.
Perfect for lithium battery systems, enabling electric galley & automatic hot water in the Summer. With a Victron 150/100 SmartSolar controller. 180 degree tilt option.
