Does anyone use a solar panel on their boat?
I have thought of doing it. It would be practical for extending trolling time, running your fish finder, GPS system and more!
I've seen prices for less than $100.
Using Solar Boat Trickle Chargers
They are used on boats to guard against any natural electronic drain and battery discharge. These solar chargers for boats are made using designs that are weather proof so they cannot be easily damaged while in the water.
Solar chargers can be used on boats for any complimentary electronic gear that may need to be used while the boat is out on the water.
Know Before You Buy
When choosing the marine solar charging panel, you need to know the kind of battery that you have but in most cases, one charger will work for any gear or battery except if it is for Gel Cell.
It is also important to calculate the wattage on the solar charger by knowing just how many Ampere per hours the battery stores.
Choose a charger that has a solar marine battery maintainer so that it will monitor the charging on a regular basis and stop it once the boat or the gear is fully charged.
