GridGap For Boat And Shore Power Users

Boat users often share the same power-planning questions as RV users, but with extra attention to shore power, charging windows, corrosion-resistant installation decisions, and space or ventilation constraints.

What GridGap is best for

GridGap is useful for estimating battery storage, inverter size, charging support, and solar contribution when comparing docked charging assumptions with more independent onboard use.

What boat users should focus on

As with RV planning, the app's grid charge hours often maps naturally to expected shore-power availability. The most useful areas are realistic load entry, charging assumptions, and making sure your solar expectations match the actual space and orientation available on the vessel.

Where marine reality takes over

Marine installation standards, corrosion risk, enclosure choices, ventilation, isolation, switching arrangements, and onboard safety compliance are outside the final authority of the app. Use GridGap for early sizing direction, then translate that into a marine-safe design process.
