  • Patent number: 10903781
    Abstract: A solar power system for a marine dock includes a telescoping vertical member affixed to a dock via a bracket. A solar panel is pivotably and rotatably affixed to the top end of the telescoping vertical support. A weatherproof equipment container is affixed to the telescoping vertical support. A meter unit, battery, and inverter are housed within the weatherproof equipment container. First leads connect the solar panel to the meter unit, which is configured to measure and display energy and/or power generated by the solar panel. Second leads are configured so that current is passed through the meter unit to the battery in a charging configuration. A third lead connects one terminal of the battery to a measurement terminal on the meter unit, which is configured to measure and display the output voltage of the battery. Fourth leads connect the battery to the inverter in a discharge configuration.

  • Patent number: 10807678
    Abstract: A watercraft includes a pair of inflatable pontoons. Releasably affixed atop each of the pontoons and aligned therewith are inner and outer lengthwise frame members. Forward and aft beamwise frame members are affixed to the inner and outer lengthwise frame members. Primary arch members are affixed to the forward and aft beamwise frame members. A main fabric panel is stretched between the pair of primary arch frame members, the forward beamwise frame member, and the aft beamwise frame member. A motor mount is affixed centrally to the aft beamwise frame member, the motor mount being configured to removably support a motor assembly. Aft panel side members are rotatably-lockably affixed to the aft beamwise frame member and joined by an aft panel top member. An aft fabric panel is stretched between the aft panel side members, the aft beamwise frame member, and the aft panel top member.
