The solar boat is a vessel which uses the sun's energy for propulsion. Solar boats visible at NauticlExpo include tour boats, boats with cabins and other small vessels.
While solar boats have private, public and military applications, most current models are small, low-power craft used by individuals for recreational purposes. They are also used as tour boats and small, inland waterways ferries.
This type of craft carries photovoltaic panels that transform solar energy into electrical energy. The power of the electric drive motor will depend on the size of the boat.
Some of the criteria to be considered are the output of the solar panels, the motor's consumption, the size of the boat, etc.
