Re: [Electric Boats] 70 volt Solar panels

 

You would probably want a controller that would charge 48 volts of batteries. Reduced weight and seems to be the proper voltage for your controller. If there are extrsa panels avsilable.  Where abouts are they

I just ran across  70 v - 100 watt solar panels at $65 ea. Do 70 volt panels make sense on a boat used at a lake about 6 miles across. If used with 6 nominal batteries (72 volts / 80 Amps) and a golf cart motor controller,

the motor has a typical gearbox 2.83 to 1 and a Martec folding prop 12 x 12


A. At full sun, does 70v (4 panels) 400 watts mean that a 36/48 volt motor with only 400 watts will try and turn full speed but with 2000 lbs hull displacement, it will max out at 400 watts going about 3 knots?


B Does 70v try and overheat the motor, (as described above) or is 400 watts the power that the motor is absorbing with no issues. 


Thanks to all for looking  -Ray
