Your Questions About Solar Generator For Boat
Donna asks…
I am trying to start a business from a pontoon boat and want to know some ideas about how to power appliances.?
I want to run all at once: a mini fridge, mini freezer, and a few other small appliances. What do I need to know about inverters, generators, propane, batteries, solar panels, etc… ? Any good business advice? How do I make this idea work? What are things to consider if I want to sell food and other stuff?
admin answers:
Keep in mind, boats and any food / alcohol service have strict guidelines and regulations.
You could probably get some large battery packs charged by a generator. Look at other people who have similar setups. You could probably find out a lot by looking at an ice cream truck.
Robert asks…
How does a on board battery charger work?
Does it work off of the boat motor or does it take juice from one battery and charge the others?
admin answers:
Most boats and larger outboards have a generator on them that charges the battery while underway.
The on board battery charger works while the boat is plugged in to shore power and charges the batteries from alternating current from the dock. It does not take juice from one battery and give it to another. They have a shut off to prevent overcgarging.
Solar chargers can be used in good weather to keep batteries up during the day.
