Solar Power

A solar charge controller is a full multi-stage battery charger providing a bulk, absorb and float charge cycle. This maintains the onboard battery bank, keeping it operating effeciently while away from shore power. Depending on the configuration, a solar charging system can provide between 6 to 50 amps of power. This significantly extends the life of the battery bank as it virtually eliminates the risk of detrimental deep discharges and keeps the charging cycles within optimum ranges.

We have completed multiple projects installing solar panels We will always be happy to discuss panel placement and potential solar energy harvesting onboard your boat.
