The stable solar bimini opens and closes easily with one hand. No climbing, no tangled cables, no removing the solar panels.
Nobody wants to spend all summer in the shade.

The electric power demand on sailing yachts is increasing due to more and more power consumers like refrigerators and freezers, air conditioners, water makers, electric stoves, notebooks, autopilots, 220V supply etc.
The trend towards electric drives increases power consumption even more.
Lithium batteries store large amounts of electrical power. The bottleneck at sea is the power production.
On monohull yachts, there is not enough space on deck to mount solar panels. Textile biminis are unsuitable because the weight of the solar panels is too high and the bimini can no longer to be opened. A fixed roof, on the other hand, defeats the purpose of a bimini that can be opened and closed.
