About Solar Calculator for Boats
Solar Calculator for Boats — size your onboard solar system in seconds.
Designed for sailors, motorboat owners and liveaboards who wish to figure out the right solar panel + battery + inverter setup without becoming an electrician.
WHAT IT CALCULATES
• Daily solar yield based on your location, panel wattage and controller type (PWM or MPPT)
• Battery bank sizing, with depth-of-discharge respected for lead-acid and lithium
• Inverter sizing, including efficiency losses and realistic shore-power vs engine-alternator loads
• Optional shore-power and grid-mode scenarios for boats that also connect to marina power
DESIGNED FOR REAL BOATS
• Pre-loaded with solar zones — Mediterranean, Atlantic Spain, UK/Ireland, Canary Islands — so your estimates match your actual cruising area
• Supports mixed panel groups: different wattages and controller types in the same system
• Built around realistic values for common boat electrical setups
EDUCATIONAL, NOT JUST A CALCULATOR
• Built-in tooltips explain what MPPT, depth of discharge and inverter efficiency actually mean — so you understand the result, not just the number
• Designed for boat owners who want to make informed decisions, not for electrical engineers
PRIVACY-FIRST
• All calculations run locally on your device. No account, no login, no server processing of your inputs.
