Marine Solar
Installation
Professional solar and electrical systems for sailboats, powerboats, catamarans, and yachts. Designed for BC's coastal waters by licensed Red Seal electricians.
Built for
Life on the Water
Marine solar is a completely different discipline from residential installation. Salt air corrodes unprotected connections. Hulls flex and vibrate. Masts and booms create complex shading patterns. Space on deck is limited. And every panel, wire, and battery has to integrate cleanly into a 12V or 24V DC electrical system that's already running navigation electronics, refrigeration, lighting, pumps, and communications gear.
We design every system around your actual electrical loads — not just deck space. We calculate your daily amp-hour consumption, factor in the number of days you need to run without sun, and spec panels, batteries, and charge controllers accordingly. The result is a system that actually works the way you need it to.
Sailboats & Ketches
Flexible panels on biminis, rigid panels on hardtops or deck mounts, lithium battery banks, and full integration with your 12V nav and autopilot systems. Shading from masts and booms carefully accounted for in system design.
Powerboats & Trawlers
High-capacity lithium banks for extended anchoring without running engines. Shore power integration, generator backup wiring, and Victron monitoring to track every amp from anywhere aboard.
Catamarans & Live-Aboards
Large panel arrays across wide beam decks, high daily load capacity for full-time living, DC-DC alternator charging, and systems designed for extended offshore passages and remote anchorages.
Everything Your
System Needs
A proper marine solar installation isn't just panels on a roof. It's a complete engineered system — every component chosen and sized for your specific vessel, loads, and cruising style.

What We Use —
and Why
We're Victron and Renogy authorized dealers. Every component we install is one we've chosen because it's the right tool for the job — not because it's the cheapest option.

How a Marine
Install Works
No templates, no one-size-fits-all packages. Every marine system starts with a real conversation about your boat and how you use it.
Load Audit
We go through every electrical load aboard — nav electronics, fridge, autopilot, lighting, inverter loads. We calculate your daily amp-hour consumption and how many days of autonomy you need without charging.
System Design
We spec every component — panel wattage and placement, battery bank size, charge controller, inverter, and monitoring. You receive a full written design with reasoning before anything is ordered.
Professional Install
Our Red Seal electricians do the work using tinned copper wiring, waterproof enclosures, and sealed penetrations. Clean cable runs, proper fusing, and full integration with your existing ship's electrical.
Handover & Support
We walk you through the system, configure your Victron monitoring, and make sure you know how to read it. We remain available after the job — call us if you have questions on the water.
