What is an off grid solar yacht system? The off grid solar yacht system mainly refers to a solar system that converts solar energy into electrical energy required for yacht operation, thereby providing sufficient power for the yacht.
1、 Components
Off grid solar yacht systems typically consist of solar panels, batteries, charging controllers, and inverters.
(1) Solar cell module
Solar cell modules are the core of solar photovoltaic systems, most of which are made of monocrystalline silicon materials.
(2) Battery
A battery is a power storage pool in a photovoltaic system that can store the electrical energy converted from solar energy absorbed by the battery modules of an off grid solar yacht system for emergency use.
(3) Charge and discharge controller
The charge and discharge controller manages and controls the off grid solar yacht system. When the battery stores the energy obtained from the solar panel, the charge controller can prevent the battery from overcharging and also protect the circuit.
(4) Inverter
The inverter performs a current conversion to convert direct current into alternating current required for alternating current charges. Household appliances on yachts often require the help of inverters to convert DC energy into AC.
2、 Workflow
Firstly, the solar cell module receives sunlight, absorbs the heat energy of the sun, and converts it into electrical energy for transmission to the controller;
Secondly, intelligent controllers are used to manage the electrical energy delivered by the battery modules, providing sufficient DC power for the operation of the yacht.
On the premise of ensuring that the yacht has sufficient power, the remaining electrical energy is stored in the battery structure of the system, while meeting the requirements of power off, recovery, and other functions to protect the photovoltaic system structure;
Finally, according to the requirements of the AC load of the solar photovoltaic system, the inverter of the photovoltaic system is used to convert the current generated in the solar photovoltaic system or the DC power discharged by the battery into the AC power required by the AC load, to meet the power requirements of different functions of the yacht.
3、 Positive significance
The off grid solar yacht system can provide a lot of help to yachts:
1. Maritime safety emergency support
The diesel engine or motor motor fails at sea and cannot be used. Solar power generation can be used to ensure that the yacht can start navigation, GPS navigation, and satellite phone use.
2. Satisfying domestic electricity consumption
Small system: lighting, mobile phone charging, MP3 player, fan, refrigerator, TV, etc. can be satisfied;
Large system: air conditioning (requires high-power solar panels and batteries to store sufficient energy)
3. Continuous and stable provision of clean energy
The yacht is powered by an off grid solar yacht system. As long as there is solar energy, it can continuously and stably generate electricity, solving the hidden danger of running out of batteries and no longer being able to provide electrical energy;
And solar power generation can be used in combination with electric motors and diesel engines to reserve a new type of energy for the energy use of yachts, without noise and vibration, and has environmental protection effects.
