Lithium Battery Systems
Ocean Planet Energy installs high-performance lithium battery systems designed for marine environments. These systems offer longer life, faster charging, and reduced maintenance compared to traditional batteries. Our solutions ensure optimal energy storage and safety for boats of all sizes. Lithium technology provides weight savings and improved efficiency for both recreational and commercial vessels.
Solar Panels & Controllers
We provide lightweight, durable solar panels and advanced controllers tailored for marine use. Our systems maximize energy harvest while minimizing fuel consumption. Options include flexible panels for canvas installations and rigid panels for deck mounting. Solar solutions are ideal for maintaining battery charge during extended anchoring or sailing.
High-Output Alternators
Our high-output alternators enhance charging efficiency, reducing engine runtime and fuel usage. Designed for compatibility with lithium and AGM battery banks, these systems ensure rapid, reliable charging. Upgrades often eliminate the need for separate generators on many vessels.
System Monitoring
Advanced monitoring solutions track battery status, charging sources, and energy consumption in real time. Features include remote diagnostics, programmable alerts, and integration with onboard electronics. These systems help optimize performance and prevent power-related emergencies during voyages.
System Design Consulting
Our experts provide customized system design services to match specific vessel requirements. Consulting includes load calculations, component selection, and installation guidance. We ensure all elements work cohesively for maximum efficiency and reliability in diverse maritime conditions.

Questions
What are the benefits of upgrading to lithium batteries?
Lithium batteries offer longer life, faster charging, reduced weight, and improved efficiency compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. They also require less maintenance and provide consistent power output.
Can solar panels fully power a boat?
Solar panels can significantly reduce reliance on generators and shore power, especially for smaller loads. System size and sunlight availability determine the extent of energy independence achievable.
How do I determine the right system size for my boat?
We recommend using our online energy calculator to estimate daily consumption. Our team can then help design a system matching your specific usage patterns and vessel requirements.
What is the solar tax credit for boats?
The federal solar tax credit offers a 30% credit for qualified marine solar installations through 2032. This applies to boats considered second homes with basic amenities docked in the US.
Do you offer international support?
Yes, we support global installations with remote consulting and partnerships with local installers. Hundreds of our systems operate worldwide, including in remote maritime environments.
