Widebeam Solar Power
Super Solar Systems has long loved British canal boats – wide-beams and narrowboats. Many wide-beam owners are constant cruisers and have extensive solar panel installations because mains power is not widely available away from marinas. The wider beam means that interior space is much greater for a given overall length than is possible on a narrowboat. The comfort level is consequently greater (equivalent to a small house) and the possible number of domestic appliances is greater, needing a more powerful widebeam solar installation. Dutch barges and others converted to residential use have similar solar energy needs.
Widebeam solar power systems are complex and it is generally hard to get experienced professional advice on what is best solar energy system for widebeam.
