Electrical Power on Legato
The boat had originally two 160Ah service batteries. We now have a third one, about 480Ah in total. Being AGM, only 50% is usable.
For sustainability considerations, including noise and exhaust pollution, there will be no generator on Legato. So our batteries will be mainly charged by our three solar panels, in total 520W. Two Victron MPPT controllers make sure the batteries are charged optimally. If needed, we also have an additional 100W portable (folding) panel with separate MPPT controller.
Finally, for those cloudy days, we have an EFOY fuel cell generator which produces up to 150Ah per day by consuming small quantities of methanol, which can be found in several places.
