Coconut Grove, Miami, FL · 42′ cruising catamaran
Solar Charging Installation in Miami
- Problem
- A liveaboard couple based on Biscayne Bay were running the generator twice a day just to keep up with the fridge, freezer and fans — and wanted true off-grid capability before cruising the Bahamas.
- Solution
- We designed and installed a 1,200W array across the hardtop, with dual MPPT controllers, upgraded wiring and a monitoring display integrated with their existing lithium bank.
- Outcome
- On a typical South Florida day the array fully recovers the night’s usage by early afternoon. The generator now runs for air conditioning only — most days, not at all.
