12V vs 24V vs 48V Which voltage is best for Boats and RV's? Everything you need to know to decide!

In this video we do a deep dive into the different voltage options for off grid installations on Boats or RV's. With all the hype around 48V these days it is good to have a down to earth look at the different options and their pros and Cons. In short we can say: 12V best for simple installations with a maximum inverter size of 3000W 24V A happy medium for installations that have larger DC loads which can run on 24V and medium sized inverters up to 10.000W 48V The best if you are having huge DC loads like electric propulsion engines or want to run huge inverter loads. Often used in home battery storage systems or (hybrid) electric boats. Want to help us out?

We bought a cheap and neglected 49ft Performance catamaran for just $52.500. It is an Ocean Cat 49 built in 2000, and we are in the process of refitting it and getting it sailing again so we can continue our voyage around the world. Hop along for the ride while we try and give this incredible boat a second chance at life and finally crossing some oceans. Fixing stuff along the way and creating an incredible floating home.
