Energy on board and consumption
The supply of energy is a crucial aspect on a boat.
The energy sources on board must be carefully chosen and perfectly match the needs of the boat and its crew.
Otherwise, there is a risk of equipment malfunctions and damage, which could be dangerous.
An energy assessment is necessary before considering the installation or replacement of an appliance.
Therefore, you need to be able to estimate your daily consumption in order to choose a suitable system.
