From India
Maturity stage TRL 9 / CRI 3-4 - Commercial Scale Up / Multiple commercial Applications

The solution combines the advancements in naval architecture, electric power train and photovoltaics to build electric boats and ferries that run on solar energy. Traditional passenger boats use diesel which causes air and water pollution in addition to the vibrations and sound produced when the motor is in operation. The high operation costs of these boats are avoided thanks to the Solar Ferry Boat's efficient design and no fuel costs. For example, the daily operating cost is 1/40th that of a diesel ferry.

The Environmental Benefits

  • Very silent and low vibrations resulting in a pleasurable ride for passengers
  • Spacious boat interior thanks to its catamaran design.

The Financial Benefits

  • Breakeven reached in less than 3 years.
