So removed the generator and had no solar, increased the house bank and the efficiency of fridge compressors and lights.
Generator working when removed.
HOW MUCH POWER YOU NEED EVERYONE?
No water maker, one fridge freezer and 2 freezers all 12 volt. No lithium (but high end Bosch AGM and alternators for fast charging)
You are not at home.
Never ran house bank to less than 50%.
Carried a petrol 2000w generator if we got stuck in an anchorage more than 4 days and that we used about once a year.
One tank would get us back to 100%
Sure you are sailing boat but still how much power do you actually use.
Better to focus on the other end of the equation.
New compressors are far more efficient than even ones from 5 years ago.
LED all interior lights etc etc.
This will surprise people, galley fridge freezer , in qld in summer about 100amphrs a day, Tasmania in summer about 24amphr
Good insulation is expensive but cheap.
