Modernize your vessel with a professionally engineered marine solar system designed around your power demands and cruising style. Every installation is custom-built to integrate seamlessly with your existing electrical architecture and battery systems.

We design for performance, clean aesthetics, and long-term reliability. Optimizing panel placement, charge management, and system output to reduce generator runtime and increase onboard energy independence.

Upgrade Marine partners with leading marine power manufacturers, including Victron Energy, to deliver high-quality components and intelligent system integration tailored to your vessel.

Upgrade Marine designs and installs custom marine solar systems for sailboats, powerboats, cruising yachts, catamarans, and liveaboard vessels throughout San Diego. Whether you're looking to maintain batteries while the boat sits at the dock, support extended cruising, or reduce generator runtime, we design systems around your vessel's available space and onboard power requirements.

Our solar installations commonly include high-efficiency solar panels, Victron SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers, lithium battery banks, inverter/charger systems, DC-to-DC charging, and advanced monitoring through Victron Cerbo GX systems. We carefully evaluate panel placement, shading, wiring runs, and charging requirements to maximize system performance while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.

Many of our clients combine solar power with lithium battery upgrades to create quieter, more energy-efficient vessels capable of supporting refrigeration, electronics, lighting, entertainment systems, and other onboard loads without relying heavily on shore power or generators. From weekend cruisers to offshore passagemakers, we build systems designed for reliability in the demanding marine environment.
