RE: Loading Batteries with sunlight

For your size boat and purpose I would forget solar and install a small 3 to 5 KW second gen set.* So are you still looking at a cruise generator?** Solar is for small boats with no/little creature comforts.**

They do make small protable DIESEL gen sets.* I would go with diesel before gas as we have a hundred of gallons of diesel storage alread on our boat.*
