Here’s the claim that ought to make a careful buyer pause: the model that sizes your boat’s power system isn’t a boat trick. It’s a general answer to a general question — how much you must generate and store to run something on the sun alone — and we’ve pointed it at three very different problems. The same equation, three deployments.
On the sea — Radical Flux
The marine instance is the one we’ve proven hardest. Demand versus solar-and-battery supply, sized for a specific hull, then measured against a thousand miles of real coast. Over the 1,000 NM trial the array harvested more energy than the motor consumed — the 48 V bank never fell below 50%. That’s the configurator’s foundation: not a hope, a result.
On the land — Starlight Island
Take the boat out of the equation and the arithmetic doesn’t flinch. For an off-grid island development, the same flux model balances a building’s loads against array output and battery reserve, and carries a single set of parameters all the way down to a bill of materials. A house is just a boat that doesn’t move — the energy question is identical.
On the water — Halalt floating solar
And in partnership with the Halalt First Nation, the model left the boat entirely and went to work on open water: floating solar platforms that pair clean generation with aquatic carbon sequestration. Two platforms are designed to deliver a megawatt-hour a week, at 14 kW of solar each. Different scale, different purpose — same balance of supply against demand, sized from parameters.
Three deployments, one equation. When you size a system for your boat, you’re not getting a hobbyist’s spreadsheet — you’re getting a model proven everywhere we’ve pointed it. See the equation, land to water →
