Wind turbines and solar panels are ideal for a trickle-charge system; although they are not suited as a main power source. Unfortunately, as a main power source, each of them has a significant performance drawback in the context of a small- to medium-size boat. They simply need too much real estate.

=== Controller ===
The controller for engine charging and inverter/charger is a single point of failure, so a back-up controller or a bypass system should be provided.
=== Distribution Panel ===
For easy access the AC/DC distribution panel is located in the pilothouse. Remote latching relays disconnect the batteries in the event of an electrical fire.
