Once the solar panels are completely installed (by weeks end), they will fully power the boat when it’s in use. When the boat is not in use, the solar panels will feed renewable energy back into the grid at the marina.
Bio-Solar One uses about 4 gallons of biodiesel on a typical weekend, depending on use. This is about 20-25% more fuel efficient than other boats this size. Tennessee is a leader in the production of biodiesel fuels.
There are 16 batteries that store the energy, each weighing 167 pounds. That’s more than a ton of batteries. The power that is not used will be enough to power 4 or 5 other boats at the marina.

That is just not credible. We rent a house boat each year and they have full time generators to run the ac and refrig and every thing else. You can’t tell me Al doesn’t get hot and need ac. Need to check your facts. I would bet my life saving that Al runs the AC full time when he using the boat.

Ah yes, the double talking global warming dunderhead does it again. He has AC and running water on his “ecoboat” , but his tenants can’t get the water running in the outhouse. Do as I say, not as I do.

McCain Rocks: you’re a LIAR. The solar panels on that boat are not capable of running everything on it. You must be a liberal POS.
