Solar panels for boatsLove the outdoors? Want to keep the air clean and clear?
Instead of using a fuel combustion engine and/or grid-based electricity, how about solar panels for boats? That’s right! You can use solar power while you are out on the water, or even dock-side to charge the battery and power boat lifts.
Solar panels for boats are categorized in two main groups: those that help move the boat, and those that help power electrical needs while you’re on the water. Some PV panels accomplish both purposes.
Sailboats using solar powerAll types of boats can use solar power. Sailboats, yachts, motor boats and more.
In order to generate solar power, you don’t need bright sunlight. Any UV light (filtered through clouds) will work. Chances are that your boating excursion will include enough solar exposure to charge the battery and keep electrical appliances running.
Even if you don’t expect to run a boat motor on solar power, you can at least rely on solar panels to power on-board devices. Your GPS, cell phone, mP3 player and more can all be recharged with portable solar power from any solar panels on your boat.
Do you use solar panels for your boat? If so, why? If not, why not?
