All you have to do is add up all the power (in watt hours) used by each device on your boat, such as refrigerators, lights, computers, etc. Energy is the amount of power accumulated over time, so if power is measured in watts, energy is in watt-hours. This can be tricky, for example, how long is your refrigerator going to run? What about overnight stays? How much energy does the instrument require? Or your computer? You can measure by their voltage and current, P=UI. (Note: The final measured quantity is increased by about 10%, because there may be some unexpected situations) Determine which type of solar panel to use. I have mentioned before that solar panels are divi
