The control of solar energy ship PV generation system. The PV generation system can operate in stand-alone mode to supply the lighting system through the ship main grid, if the sunlight is adequate. Then, switches SW b and SW c should be off, while the switch SW a is on.
New energy sources, including solar energy, wind energy and fuel cells have already been introduced into ship power system. Solar energy can now be used as the main power source to propel small-scale ships, and as an auxiliary power source in large-scale ships to supply lighting, communication devices and navigation system.
For optimal durability, one should consider products with robust build quality, such as the CMPower marine solar panels which utilize premium solar cells. The size and weight of the solar panel must align with the spatial constraints of a vessel. Lighter panels with a slim profile facilitate easier mounting and reduce the load.
