Noputtputt brings the propulsion of narrowboats using solar power simply and affordably within reach by taking advantage of recent developments in solar power systems, electric motors and batteries.
NoPuttPutt, the all-in-one solar electric propulsion system for narrowboats.
Check out this NoPuttPutt Installation!
NoPuttPutt is an all-in-one solar electric propulsion system consisting of a brushless motor, lithium battery, inverter, solar panels, display and throttle, plus all the bits to make it work!
Power your narrowboat from the Sun. Be kind to the planet and cruise in tranquil quiet.
What is NoPuttPutt?
NoPuttPut is a solar electric motor propulsion system designed to convert a narrowboat from diesel to solar powered battery electric, or indeed to fit out a new boat.
Makes the most effective use of the available solar energy using LiFePO4 batteries and a brushless motor.
NoPuttPutt can also be used to power some or all of the appliances on the boat.
Easy to fit
NoPuttPutt has been designed to be simple to fit with modular, high quality components.
Please get in contact if you would like to replace your diesel with solar power and we will agree the most convenient location for you so that we can install NoputtPutt. This will include removing the existing diesel.
If you are a professional boatyard or boat builder and would like to become a NoPuttPutt approved installer, then please get in contact.
The best battery for the job
NoPuttputt stores the energy that the solar panels provide in a Lithium (LiFePO4) battery. The advantages of this over Lead Acid batteries (also Lead Carbon or Gel or AGM batteries) are:
- Much better charging cycle life
- Better charging and discharging efficiency
- Much greater maximum usable capacity
- Better value
- Greater power density
- More compact
That's why the Lithium battery in a NoPuttPutt system is maximising the available solar energy to power the motor and appliances.

Powered by the sun!
Your solar electric powered NoPuttPutt system runs using solar power provided from sun without draining the battery, thus giving you a buffer of up to three days cruising from the battery on shorter winter days. At any time you have added reassurance of being able to top up at a marina from a shore line.
