Two Panel Soft-Top Solar Panel Kit
Why Solar?
Shore power cords on land. That cord running to your dock is the leading cause of marina fires in the US — and most owners learn that the hard way.
A 50-foot yacht caught fire from an arcing shore power cord. Two 100-watt solar panels would have handled the entire load.
The solution is simpler than you think.

Based on Pacific Northwest average of 4.5 peak sun hours per day and 85% panel efficiency. A 100W panel produces approximately 382 Wh (31.8 Ah at 12V) per day. A 200W panel produces approximately 765 Wh (63.75 Ah at 12V) per day. Generator fuel consumption based on manufacturer specifications: small generators (under 5 kW) 0.3 GPH, medium (5–10 kW) 0.5 GPH, large (10 kW+) 0.9 GPH. Generator run cycles assumed at 3–4 hours per cycle. Monthly savings based on 8 active boating days per month. Actual results vary by location, vessel, battery type, and usage patterns.
