mounted on top of the Bimini shortly to further increase solar
power generation.
To handle the voltage conversion from solar panel to battery and
control battery charging, a total of seven Victron 150/45 MPPT
controllers are fi tted in the starboard engine room. MPPT controllers
can harvest up to 30% greater energy than a simple pulse
width controller. By pairing one controller with each individual
solar panel, power generation is maximized by minimizing the
negative impacts of shading on any one of the panels. See fi gures
3 and 4.

BATTERIES & INVERTERS
From the factory the Lagoon came with 560Ah of lead acid batteries.
The owner has contracted to have these replaced in the fall
with 920Ah of lithium. With their greater useable energy density
this will be equivalent to almost 1,000ah of lead acid.
As part of the lithium upgrade, two Victron 3000W inverters are
being installed. These inverters will power the main AC loads consisting
of the air conditioning, induction cook top, and hot water
tank.
The large battery bank (with solar charging) and inverters
allow these loads to be supplied without needing to install a generator.
This saves weight (always critical in a catamaran), allows
the vessel to use less diesel fuel, and is one less piece of rotating
machinery to maintain. While the capital cost of the lithium battery
upgrade with the Victron Inverters is comparable to the purchase
and install cost of the generator, going forward the reduced
running and maintenance costs of the batteries and inverters make
that the better solution. As an added bonus, the physical real estate
normally taken up by the generator will be used for a second freshwater
tank and additional storage.

The entire power system will be monitored by a Victron Cerbo
GX and GX Touch 50 5 " touch screen. In addition to seeing graphically
the state of the electrical system (battery charge, AC & DC
power consumption, solar charging), with inputs for tank level,
temperature sensors, user defi nable digital inputs and user defi nable
relay outputs, the owner can monitor and control the health
of the entire vessel. They can also view, control, and confi gure
this information remotely over the Internet using Victron's VRM
(Victron Remote Management).
