 NASP has been working with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers on solar boat dock projects for 15 years. Planning, system design, Corp approval, and most important, customer satisfaction, are what NASP is all about. With solar power for your boat dock there's no need to worry about utility power, Corp fees, or monthly electric bills.
Also, the burden of taking up your line is a thing of the past.
 The load in wattage and how long it will be on, will need to be provided in order to properly calculate the solar array size, and the battery bank. The amount of amperage needed on your 120 volt AC loads will determine your inverter size and the wiring size for the batteries. Dc voltage lighting greatly increases the overall efficiency.
