Morning everyone,
Have just completed purchase of our first boat. 56' x 12 built in 2006.
I intend doing a reburbishment over the coming 6 months or so but really need advice.
1st - a generator ideal for the boat but initially to run my power tools inc a Dewalt table saw.
2nd (and most important) - PLEASE, can someone recommend roughly what I should fit for solar, batteries and panels, to cover most of our needs as liveaboard continuous cruisers.. Currently have a solid fuel stove and back boiler. Would like to install oil fired boiler.
Power expectations are all the usual appliances but not dishwasher. Standard fridge freezer, washing machine, TV, 12v lighting, laptops, radio......hot water and heating would be superb even if only partial. I assume being a Widebeam, roof space isn't the main issue. I've read so much it's confusing. As we live in a cloudy part of th world and the cut is shady, would amorphous panels be the better choice? I've no idea about this stuff yet. Equipment required, set up plans, where to buy, what to buy and how much to buy- would all be very helpful.
I'm sorry if this repeats a previous post, and I thank you all in advance.
Cheers all.
