Why Runaway Bay
Runaway Bay clients typically have an aging solar system, a vessel needing battery work, and a home network that struggles when the family is all home at once. Home + Vessel Audit is a common starting point.
For homes with vessels
Runaway Bay vessels range from runabouts to live-aboard cruisers. Battery upgrades from AGM and lead-acid to LiFePO4 are typical. We design the upgrade so the boat charges from shore power without damaging the lithium bank, with monitoring that surfaces on the home dashboard.
A Home + Vessel Audit covers both sides in one engagement, producing a single integration roadmap and a fixed-scope proposal that treats the property and the boat as one system.
For homes
Established homes here often have solar from the FIT-incentive era, a switchboard that hasn't been touched since install, and a router from the original NBN connection. The audit assesses each layer and produces a staged renewal plan.
Engagements typically start with a Home System Audit. Two to three hours on site, written PDF report, and a fixed-scope proposal grounded in what\'s already installed.
