Re: [electricboats] Solar charging

A other option may be something like a portable solar generator and the foldable panels that go with them. That could do double duty outside your boat as well - say if you are camping by boat. Less efficient than a dedicated system but sometimes a thing that gets multiple uses is more efficient financially.  Jackery and Goal Zero are brands that I've had success with.

Use a solar panel and a boost controller. They are available to charge 36 or 48 volts.  I am using two 100w panels into a boost controller to charge my 48v battery pack.

OK friends, here's the deal.  I have a 36v.  trolling motor as aux. propulsion on my HA18, that's a catboat.  I power it with a 36v lit ion rechargeable bike battery. Works good.  I'm trying to be able to put a little solar juice in it while underway.  What's the simplest way to do that?  

thanks,
