Advantages of having a Solar Powered Boat:
1. By introducing Solar System into the fishing boat
we could thus save the battery life by inducing float charging when the boat is
at ideal state. Which in term will help the user to save the battery from
ageing.
2. Savings on Diesel fuel costs, thus, the diesel saved can be used to run the boat for long duration thus reducing the dependability on diesel.
3. By Keeping the radio on all times and any worse case scenario can be avoided.
4. Even if the battery gets affected, by adding a simple DC/AC converter, we can still use other devices directly from solar.
5. Intelligent controller automatically allows the lights to switch ON/OFF on dusk-dawn if it's at pre-set mode. and indication helps the boat user to indentify the charge left in the battery and how many more hours he can run before he needs charging.

Important Function:
The system design to optimize the
combination of panel size, number, rating, arrangement; charge controller
rating; battery size, number, rating; motor rating was another challenge. The
panel size and battery backup size had to be right to ensure that the system is
effective.
The Solar panel will be fitted on top
of the deck and it will be positioned in such a way that it does not cause any
drag force or without compromising on normal operation or stability. The
connection is given to Voltage regulator/ Charge Controller through which
battery is charged and maintained and the stored energy is consumed while the
navigation panel is in use. Inverter helps in the conversion of DC/AC and is
supplied through protection system and finally connected to Navigational Panel.
