The Future’s bright with Solar Power
Klacko Marine is continuing to offer solar panels and controllers to the Marine industry by request only. Please contact us for latest pricing and stock availability. We’ve included some verified suppliers at the bottom of this post that offer consistent stock and marine electronics consultation.
We build Marine Mounting Systems
At Klacko Marine, we do not get into the design or installation of electronic/charging systems. We do however specialize in the mounting and design for many off-grid products. From Solar Arches to Battery Boxes, we’ve got you covered.
Victron Energy Charge Controllers
This brand of controllers is by far the most recommended for their ease of install and use. Bluetooth connectivity and a great smart app make them the no 1. choice by sailors and marine installers.
Victron Energy Sailing provides a huge range of useful information, guides and power requirement calculators. Their equipment is as good as it gets for most bluewater cruisers. Their phone app and software is regularly updated and very user friendly.
Epever are also a favourite. They are more economical and less frills controller choice. You will see in the reviews and forums they are gaining a solid reputation and are often found for great prices on Amazon.
Solar on a Boat Facebook group is a recommended resource and a very user friendly knowledge base. Its for all things ‘On Water & Off Grid’. We’ve found that most marine situations and power setups are actively covered by the wide group of sailors and professional installers.
Marine How To is also a great source of information that includes DIY boating projects such as high output alternators, LiFePo Battery installations and many other related projects.
Rod “RC” Collins is very helpful and Klacko Marine recommends supporting his site and products.
