A Game-Changing Marine Solar Upgrade: Burke Constructions’ Experience with Sweens Auto & Marine Electrical
When it comes to marine electrical systems, experience and technical knowledge make all the difference especially when upgrading power systems that need to perform reliably in demanding environments.
For Cameron Burke of Burke Constructions, working with Stephen Sweeney from Sweens Auto & Marine Electrical has delivered exactly that: professional service, expert guidance, and results that speak for themselves.
Trusted Expertise, Year After Year
Burke Constructions has relied on Steve for marine electrical work for several years, consistently impressed by his professional approach and depth of knowledge across every job undertaken aboard their vessel.
From the outset, Steve’s ability to assess systems thoroughly and provide practical, well-considered solutions set him apart.
“We’ve used Steve for marine electrical for a couple of years now and love his professional and very knowledgeable approach to all jobs aboard our vessel,” Cameron explains.
A Major Solar Upgrade — Done Right
Recently, the team at Burke Constructions decided it was time for a significant power upgrade to improve onboard efficiency and performance.
Working closely with Steve, the project included:
1200 watts of new solar panels
Upgraded chargers
New inverter
Lithium battery bank
Rather than a simple component swap, the upgrade was carefully planned to ensure every element worked together as an integrated system maximizing performance, reliability, and long-term value.
A System That Changed Everything
The results were immediate and transformative.
“This has been a game changer for us,” Cameron says. “We wouldn’t have been able to do it without Steve’s ideas and approach to the job.”
With increased solar capacity and a modern lithium-based power system, the vessel now operates more efficiently, with greater energy independence and confidence in its electrical setup.
Why the Right Approach Matters
What made the difference wasn’t just the equipment it was Steve’s ability to combine technical knowledge with practical, real-world experience.
By understanding how the vessel is actually used, Steve was able to design and install a system that delivered meaningful improvements, not just theoretical gains.
Reliable Power, Backed by Experience
For Burke Constructions, partnering with Sweens Auto & Marine Electrical has meant dependable service, thoughtful system design, and ongoing confidence in their marine electrical setup.
Whether it’s a solar upgrade, lithium conversion, or complete system overhaul, Stephen Sweeney delivers solutions built to perform today and into the future.
