Solar Panels for Sailboats – A Game Changer in Off-Grid Capabilities
tIn this episode of Expedition Engineers, Jade and Alex share their journey of installing solar panels on their sailboat’s hard Dodger. This significant upgrade aims to enhance the off-grid capabilities of their boat by more than double.
t tChoosing B RV Solar Panels
t tThe couple chose to use B RV’s flexible and lightweight solar panels for their project. These high-quality solar cells from B RV were selected after thorough research, conversations with experienced sailors, and the excellent review received from Raph and Sasha of Spirit Animal.
t tThe Installation Process
t tInitially, the plan was to make their own custom panels using individual solar cells and solder them all together. However, due to time constraints and the complexity of the project, they opted for pre-made panels from B RV.
t tThe Outcome
t tAfter the installation of the panels, Jade and Alex were thrilled with the outcome. The B RV panels not only look great but also perform exceptionally well even when a large part of them is shaded.
t tBenefits
t t- tt
- Increased Solar Capacity: With the installation of these solar panels, Jade and Alex have doubled their off-grid capabilities. tt
- Reduced Generator Dependency: The couple hopes to significantly reduce their reliance on a diesel generator for power needs. tt
- Lights Weight Panels: One of the biggest advantages of these solar panels is their lightweight nature, making it easier to install and maneuver. tt
- Flexibility: The B RV panels are highly flexible, which allows for better performance in varying conditions. As they warm up, they flatten out, ensuring a more consistent output over time. t
This addition to their sailboat enhances their off-grid capabilities and brings them closer to achieving self-sufficiency at sea. The journey of installing these solar panels, along with future projects, demonstrates their commitment to exploring and improving life on their boat.
t tThe Future
t tFor those looking to enhance their sailboat’s solar energy capabilities, this episode offers valuable insights. Whether considering B RV panels or exploring custom solutions, understanding the benefits and challenges of such a project can pave the way for successful installation.
t tThe couple continues to share their adventures and projects on Expedition Evans’ YouTube channel and website, inviting viewers to follow along on their journey.

Woke Up…And Nature Chose VIOLENCE ( aka LEAVE NOW!) | EE 178
One Day living on a Sailboat with 2 humans and 2 dogs. This is pretty typical. Between the weather balloons not being released on time and there not being adequate staff to interpret the satellite data...weather predictions have become a bit ROUGH!
