Cut your engine hours, stay independent at anchor, and reduce your environmental footprint. I design and install renewable energy systems that work in Scottish conditions.
Scotland gets genuine solar resource through the long summer days. I assess your deck layout and usage profile to design a system that actually delivers: flexible panels for curved surfaces, rigid panels for maximum output on flat areas, and MPPT controllers that squeeze every watt out of the light available.
A well-placed wind generator on a Scottish anchorage will outperform solar on most days of the year. I install and commission marine wind turbines — properly mounted and with correct regulator setup so they charge efficiently without the control unit fighting your solar array.
Switching from lead-acid to LiFePO4 is the upgrade most cruising yachts will benefit from most — double the usable capacity at half the weight, faster charging, and no damage from sitting at partial charge between seasons. Done right, with a compatible BMS, matched chargers, and proper alternator protection. Done wrong, it's an expensive problem. I'll tell you whether your boat is a good candidate and what it realistically costs before you commit to anything.
Right capacity for your usage, correct BMS, and cell-level monitoring included as standard.
Shore power, solar, wind, and alternator all feeding your bank without fighting each other.
Lithium requires alternator protection. I fit proper isolators so you don't burn out your alternator.
Victron and other quality monitors fitted so you always know exactly what your bank is doing.
