Harness Solar Power for Your Boat Lift Control!

You may have heard of using solar energy for your home and even your camper, but have you heard of using it on your dock for your boat lift? Firstmate Controls has! We have incorporated solar technology into our boat lift controls so you can enjoy a cleaner, safer option. Read all about it in the rest of today's blog! 


"Cut the Cord"


With solar power on your boat lift control box, you can eliminate the need for shore power. Get free from the tangled wires and placement restrictions that come with having to use power directly from the shoreline. Solar power can be used anywhere there is sunlight, so you don't have to fret about where to put your new boat lift control system from Firstmate Controls!

Safer Solution


If your dock is currently using shoreline power, there could be some hazards lurking in and around your dock that you aren't even aware of. Some docks were grandfathered in when the new requirements were put into place that docks' electrical must have a ground and not be secured under the dock. If your dock electrical is older, it may not be up to current code, and wear and tear could mean electrical shorts and even dangerous electrical activity in the water surrounding you dock. Solar power doesn't require all those messy cords running from your dock to the shoreline. Instead, it uses the natural energy from the sun, which is much safer for you and your family!


Say Goodbye to Generator Noise


Electrically-powered boat lift control boxes often have to rely on noisy generators that can be annoying and even hazardous. If the generator is loudly buzzing, you may not be able to hear someone's warning that something has gone wrong. Using solar power can eliminate the need for a generator and allow you to enjoy a peaceful, noise-free day getting ready to go out on the water.
