The most obvious difference is that Integrel E-Power does not require a separate engine. This means that the fitting costs are less than for a stand-alone generator with no need for through-hull fittings and no separate fuel, exhaust or cooling systems. Lifetime maintenance costs are also substantially less as E-Power only needs a periodic belt change; no more second engine checks and maintenance schedules.
Integrel E-Power also improves the fuel efficiency of the propulsion engine, reducing overall vessel fuel consumption by up to 25%. It is fully automatic, managing electrical power generation, storage, conversion and distribution in one package.
Our system lets you reduce the size of your 12V and 24V house battery banks with its powerful battery-to-battery charging capability, and reduces the size and weight of the cabling for power hungry consumers such as bow thrusters, windlasses and winches.
