Re: [Electric Boats] ~40' Electric catamaran

 

Interesting idea. The Enphase micro inverters are around 96% efficient. Going the micro inverter router would also clear up any single panel shading issues. I wonder what the overall efficiency loss is for:

panel-> micro inverter-> battery charger-> lithium 

vs 

panel-> MPPT-> DC/DC converter (~48v->144v+)-> lithium.

Finding 144 volt solar charger will be hard.  But how about this instead use micro-inverters on each cell send the AC out thru your normal charger?
