Solar-Powered Watercraft – Resources for Green Living

Solar-powered Watercraft is opening up a new way to get around without leaving a footprint of fuel pollution and we are grateful to those investing in both commercial and recreational craft as is all marine life.

The high cost of fuel makes this development in solar energy particularly timely. From small one or two-seater Sportscraft to giant ships, yachts, sailboats, and catamarans, solar panels are popping up everywhere. We even see lighthouses and buoys that are now powered by solar energy, ensuring a long-lasting eco-friendly safety device for those navigating waterways. There are now some floating desalination plants established on water that are employing this endless resource of energy.

Some of the new technologies developed to clean the waters of our world are seeing solar energy incorporated into their designs, making them doubly eco-friendly.

Below are samples of the various ways in which solar panels are being incorporated into watercraft of all kinds. it is a welcome wave of the future!
