- 54' Bruce Roberts steel sailboat hull, coastal LRC, 220HP CAT 3306.
I really want to have a solar charging system, but most of the kits I find on the web are designed for sailboats. They go up to 300W, but not more. On my trawler, I have plenty of space on the top, so I could easily mount 4 large panels. LG and others are selling 400+W panels now, although, not cheap. The sun is scares in the PNW, so I want to oversize it for that little light we get here during winter months.
Has anyone built a large capacity solar system on their boat? Or, do you know anyone? Perhaps, a company, which can design one like this for marine environment? I have seen many land based systems with huge capacity, but not for boats.
