Just wondering what type of solar regulator you are using.
What battery chemistry.
Thanks

Subject:[Electric Boats] Solar Array Recharging Battery Bank to 100%
Nothing revolutionary, but maybe encouraging to others considering going solar.
My very nice Electroprop All-Energy Racer system is connected to a 580 watt (peak) solar bimini. After the most recent sea trial I decided, as an experiment, to sever shore power and see if the solar array would completely recharge the 210 Ah @ 48V battery bank.
After running the battery bank down to 80% during the sea trials, a few sunny days brought it back to 100%. I was unable to check on an hour-to-hour (or even day-to-day) basis just when the battery bank returned to 100%.
Some basic, but encouraging (to me), observations.
