Alternative energy systems for
yachts include: Wind generators; towed generators (an impellor is towed
in the water behind the yacht); shaft generators (an alternator is
driven by the rotation of the prop shaft whilst sailing); wind and towed
combined (some wind generators can be converted simply and quickly into
towed generators); solar panels. This section does not cover intelligent
chargers, alternators, generators etc as this section concentrates on
alternative energy only.
Deciding on which system / systems to employ on a yacht depends on
several factors. We have included online articles in each section that
discusses these systems to help the reader to choose which system is
most suitable for their situation. We will add articles on the subject
as they become available and extend the list to include other
considerations soon. |
