Solar Solutions for Boats

We specialize in transforming boats into eco-friendly, energy-efficient powerhouses. Drawing inspiration from industry leaders like Thames Solar Electric and Donn’s Boat Shop, our solar upgrade services are designed to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, cut costs, and enhance your time on the water.

Why Choose Solar for Your Boat?

  • Eliminate Generator Dependency: Replace noisy, fuel-guzzling generators with silent solar power. Our systems can power refrigerators, navigation equipment, and even air conditioning, allowing you to anchor for days without engine use 311.
  • Cost Savings: Save thousands annually on fuel and maintenance. Solar panels last 25+ years, outperforming traditional generators 312.
  • Environmental Impact: Reduce carbon emissions and protect marine ecosystems with 100% renewable energy 16.
  • Energy Independence: Cruise remote areas without relying on marinas or shore power 914.

Our Solar Upgrade Services

Custom Solar Systems

We engineer bespoke solutions tailored to your boat’s energy needs. Whether you’re upgrading a sailboat, yacht, or houseboat, our systems include:

  • High-Efficiency Panels: Choose from rigid, semi-flexible, or lightweight flexible panels designed for marine durability 914.
  • Lithium-Ion Batteries: Store surplus energy with high-capacity lithium batteries, ensuring 24/7 power even in cloudy conditions 1211.
  • Generator-to-Solar Conversions

    Transition from diesel generators to solar with our turnkey retrofits. For example, our hybrid installations on vessels like the Sobe Sunset (30m recreational boat) use 11kW solar arrays and 300 kWh battery banks to eliminate daily refueling.

    DIY or Professional Installations

  • Sailaway Packages: Pre-wired solar propulsion systems for DIY enthusiasts, including panels, batteries, and mounting hardware.
