Tour of our Boat's Electrical System - Solar, Lithium & Inverters!

Our Bayliner 4788's electrical system - 1440w of solar, 300AH of Battle Born Lithium batteries at 24V and a Victron Quattro inverter.

In this comprehensive tour we dive into it all - from installation & design challenges, decision points and how the system has been performing.

This one has been a long time coming, thwarted by a major hurricane and contractor issues.
