Thank you all for the replies. Helps a lot 🙃

Wow! Didn’t expect to get this many replies! Thank you all. So the boat we’re buying is a 60ft Dutch barge with a flat top and tons of space for solar. I should have said that I’m intending to connect this a lithium battery. The place where we’ll be mooring has some good wind presence and I just wan to use some of that in winter when there is less sun. I know that this will need augmenting with a generator of some description, too, which absolutely will not be green Really appreciate the answers – thank you so much.

Hi all First time poster so please be gentle with me!! My wife and I are just finalising a liveaboard in Bristol and we're intending to make our boat as green as possible, Just wanted to ask if anyone had done any or all of the following: We're intending to install solar panels on the boat - anyone got any stories of installing such panels and any recommendations for makes/models/suppliers sources. Solar panels are great in the summer but not so brilliant in the winter; so we're also intending to install a wind generator on the boat, too. Again anyone installed a wind power generator...?? Makes/models/suppliers/sources would be wonderful. Finally, we want to hook these up to a mass battery storage system. Probably don't need anything as large as a Tesla Power Wall - just wondering if there is a marine version of a such a battery available...?? Again if anyone has installed such a thing on their boat we'd love to know what you've bought, how much did it cost, where did you get it from and would you recommend it...?? Anyone hooked all three things up together...?? Would take you (almost) entirely off grid, me thinks Any help, comments and thoughts gratefully appreciated Thanks
