[Electric Boats] Re: Charging options Catalina 30

 

As Hannu says if not using a genny. It comes down to how much solar you can get onboard, where you live and how often you sail. So at my location 100 Watts of panels in the Summer months on a mooring will give around 2.5 times panel rating average per day (5times peak) giving 0.25kWh per day so if I don't sail for 10 days I could expect 2.5kWh to be recharged into the battery. If my average boat consumption is 250 Wh per nautical mile then 1 X 100 Watt panel will recharge my batteries in 10 days to give me 10 miles of electric motoring in calm conditions for a 4 ton, 26ft sail boat. Plenty if you intend to sail and not motor.
