Tips For Cruising With Solar | Ep. 18

Ever wonder whether solar is right for your boat, and how to choose from the many options? In this video, we walk through the reasons why solar is an important consideration for your off-the-grid energy plan on your sailboat or powerboat. We review solar technology, installation, wiring, controllers, and then dive into the selection of solar for our new boat, a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440. We delve into a little basic electrical science to help determine the appropriate solar array size to fit our energy demands, after doing an energy consumption audit. Afterwards, you'll be on your way to energy independence! Let us know what you think!
