We have begun a process to upgrade our solar system so it can give us A/C air conditioning during the day on anchor (or underway).

Step 1 look

Bump the inverter up to 3000 watts. Completed today.

So the 3-year old charger/inverter goes on the market.

Step 2

Add one more 200 watt PV solar panel to bring us up to a theoretical kilowatt to feed the system.

Completed Monday 8/26/2024

Step 3

Wire in another manual transfer switch to safely move the salon A/C unit and the sea water pump from the boat’s native power (shore or genset) to the solar system when desired… ensuring these appliances can only be connected to ONE source at a time.

This means there are THREE possible sources of power to the A/C system: Shore, Generator, or Solar.

Being able to run A/C during a sunny day on anchor without the fuel and noise of the generator will be wonderful!
