To all the detractors here. I lived on a boat for many years which was 12v only and didn't have the mod cons. You adapt pretty quick then hardly think about it.

So everyone saying how it's fantasy to expect peoples behaviour to change, just remember if you haven't tried it you are likely highly over estimating how much effort it is, and not aware of many of the unexpected advantages.

I agree. We also built and lived on a sea going boat. You learn a lot about infrastructure to make yourselves independent. As early as the late 70's, we had solar connected to a 12v DC system. That allowed us to run lights, radios, navigation equipment, refrigeration or heating, for as long as we were at sea. Sustainable for over 2 -3 years - Battery life was the limit. {Well, obviously food and water at sea were also a limit.) 2021. That system is still running! everything you need is in there.

"mod cons" is probably British for "modern conveniences".

Sure, the wires won’t be very long in a boat, though?
