How to Size a Marine Solar System
- Calculate daily energy use: Add up total amp-hours of your onboard electronics and appliances.
- Panel wattage: Divide daily amp-hours by your available sun hours to estimate wattage needed.
- Battery type: Match your panel output with your battery management system (AGM, Gel, or Lithium).
- Controller type: Use MPPT controllers for maximum efficiency with higher-voltage panels.
- Mounting location: Ensure panels are placed for minimal shading and proper airflow.
Pro Tip
For a complete off-grid setup, pair your marine solar panels with a marine inverter or DC to DC converter to power both AC and DC systems. Add fuse blocks and circuit breakers for safe energy distribution throughout your vessel.
