ArtiYachtArtiYachtMarine solar systems in Panama include solar panel installation, Victron or Mastervolt systems, inverters and chargers, LiFePO4 (lithium) battery banks, and complete energy audits. Panama enjoys intense sunlight year-round, making solar the most cost-effective investment for yachts that spend time at anchor or want to reduce generator hours.
Installation of marine solar panels, Victron and Mastervolt systems, inverters, lithium batteries and energy audits for yachts.
Marine solar panel installation, Victron and Mastervolt systems, inverters and chargers, LiFePO4 battery banks, energy audits, hybrid systems for anchoring autonomy, remote monitoring.
You want anchoring autonomy without running the generator, your consumption exceeds current capacity, you're upgrading to lithium, or your electrical system needs a full review.
Official Victron or Mastervolt certification, experience with boats similar to yours, ability to perform an energy audit before quoting, knowledge of ABYC standards and fire safety.
From $2,000 (basic 400W system + controller) to $15,000+ (complete solar + lithium + inverter for a large yacht). Energy audit: $200-$500. LiFePO4 battery bank: $3,000-$10,000. Victron inverter: $1,000-$3,500.
It depends on daily consumption. For a 40-foot yacht with fridge, LED lights, and basic electronics, 600-800W of solar panels is enough for anchoring autonomy. If you run air conditioning, you need 1500W+ and a large lithium battery bank.
Yes, especially in Panama. Lithium batteries last 5-10 times longer, weigh 60% less, charge faster, and deliver more usable energy. The upfront cost is higher, but the cost per cycle and per kWh is much lower than lead-acid over the long run.
Victron Energy is the global standard in marine energy. Their inverters, chargers, solar controllers, and monitors integrate via VE.Bus and are controlled from the VictronConnect app. They offer reliability, complete documentation, and worldwide support, making them ideal for boats that travel.
With a well-sized system (800W of panels + 400Ah LiFePO4 + inverter), a 40-foot sailboat without A/C can stay at anchor indefinitely without running the generator. With A/C, you need at least 1500W solar and 600Ah of lithium for 6-8 hours of A/C at night.
An energy audit measures your boat's actual consumption (amp-hours) across all equipment, identifies parasitic loads, and sizes the solar and battery system needed. Without an audit you may undersize (insufficient system) or oversize (unnecessary expense).

Yes. A hybrid system with solar panels, engine alternator, and generator offers maximum redundancy. A Victron MultiPlus or Quattro charger manages the sources automatically and prioritizes solar when the sun is out, reducing generator hours to a minimum.
