OGE - Off Grid Engineering

Best time to plan your electrical system? 👉 Right at the start.

This widebeam is still in early stages — which is exactly when cable routes, equipment locations, and future upgrades should be thought through.

Once walls go in, everything becomes harder, messier, and more expensive to change.

A bit of planning now means:
✔️ Cleaner installs
✔️ Better performance
✔️ Easier future upgrades
✔️ No nasty surprises later

Even if you’re not installing everything yet, getting the infrastructure in place early makes a huge difference.

Plan first. Build once.

Nice tidy solar install on a narrowboat ☀️

Panels up and cabling run through cleanly — simple, solid upgrade to keep things topped up off-grid.

These kinds of installs make a big difference, especially heading into the brighter months.

If you’re thinking about adding solar to your boat, drop me a message.

Clean, simple, and effective.

Flexible solar panels on a widebeam — low profile, no bulky frames, and built to work with the boat rather than fight it.

I installed this on a widebeam moored on the banks of the Avon.

Whilst these panels aren’t as efficient as rigid panels, and can’t be angled to the sun, they look great — and on a widebeam like this, there’s plenty of roof space to make them work.

This is how I like to do it:
• Panels laid out properly
• Cables kept tidy and protected
• Nothing unnecessary on the roof

Good installs aren’t about cramming on more kit — they’re about doing it properly.

This one will quietly do its job day after day
