FaroBoats Solar Set Solution

FaroBoats Solar Set Solution

One of the great challenges of the nautical sector is its evolution towards environmental sustainability. The growing increase in air pollution has restricted the use of combustion engines in many lakes, rivers and canals, so the demand for the use of renewable energy engines has grown considerably. This trend of decarbonization has created new needs, such as charging batteries with clean energy.

The FaroBoats Solar Set Solution Project aims to reduce the number of boats with combustion engines and give private and maritime-tourist companies, who travel in more sheltered waters and with boats up to 5m, the possibility to have a totally autonomous and environmentally friendly solution.

To this end, it is intended to produce a fiberglass boat with an exclusive and innovative design, incorporating a 100% electric motor. A loading dock for solar and wind energy will also be developed associated with the boat, which, in addition to charging the batteries with renewable energy, allows the vessel to be removed from the water, protecting it from the weather. The fact that the dock does not require connection to the public power grid, allows it to be placed where access to the electricity grid does not exist, making the whole boat and dock 100% autonomous.
