Shore power – Charge for pennies a day by plugging into shore power at the dock.
Solar power – Solar panels continue to increase your system’s efficiency. Harness this resource to charge smaller battery banks over longer periods while staying off the grid.
Wind power – Wind is abundant and can be used to charge your batteries over longer periods.
Propeller Regeneration – Your dragging propeller is an energy resource. Tap this energy to “top off” the batteries while under sail.
Diesel Generator – Electric cruising can be extended or even become continuous when you have a properly sized generator on-board. Size a generator to an Elco EP Motor with the help of the Elco technical staff.
Elco recommends that your batteries and charger be planned and properly configured by a qualified marine electrician.
