I have been absent for a long while, but have always been proud of the fact that I know about this forum⚓️.
I have been asked to bring a 90ft boat completely of the grid and that means the boat must operate indipendant of fossil fuels as far as domestic issues go: air conditioning, lights cooking ext.
Now, I have done this in the past (many times) but not for a boat that is 90ft😅
The space I have available for solar is approx 40ft X 20ft and that could be altered to make spacing work without disturbing the boats esthetics.
So, if I hypothetically use 45 panels (Renesola 365W) I could generate 12,000W providing power to 48, 2volt gel Cells potentially delivering 1250A/H usable @ 50% per cell. That convert to 60,000A/H.
Now keep in mind that I can increase my battery power but my potential on solar is not very negotiable. (Because of space)
(I HAVE NOT HAD GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH WIND) ???
The perfect cenario that I want is 25 KW AT ALL TIMES😢. I realize that I am going to need backup and thinking of a DC GENERATOR😩. And that defeat the purpose, but it would do if I have to⚓️
I know this is going to spark lots of interest and I do not care what goes. I would like to have the galley run on HHO if possible (cooking) OR ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS.
My concern is budget as it is with everything today. So if there is a product that you know that can help, hook me up.
I will start posting picks of the boat as soon as I get there.
Hope to hear some good and bad critique in abundance.
Love and peace out
