What's Included

How we deliver Solar Integration

Solar isn't a novelty on the water anymore — it's a serious source of range and cost savings. We fit marine-grade PV arrays and hybrid energy systems that keep vessels running longer between charges.

Marine-grade solar PV

Low-profile panel arrays engineered for deck loads, salt exposure and constant vibration.

Hybrid power management

Solar, battery and generator sources balanced automatically for the lowest cost per nautical mile.

Performance monitoring

Live generation and consumption data so operators know exactly what the sun is saving them.

25%+

range extension from solar top-up

IP68

marine-grade sealed panels

10yr+

panel design life

Our Process

How it works

01

Assess

Solar potential is mapped against your route, deck space and existing power draw.

02

Design

Array layout and hybrid system architecture designed around your vessel's roofline and loads.

03

Install

Marine-grade panels and hybrid controllers fitted and sealed for continuous exposure.

04

Monitor & handover

Live monitoring configured, crew trained, and system handed over.

Where It Fits

Built for these applications

Solar-electric ferries

Daytime routes where solar meaningfully extends range between charges.

Houseboats & floating stays

Continuous hotel-load power for lighting, AC and appliances without running a generator.

Off-grid jetties

Shore points where grid power isn't practical or reliable.

Patrol & survey vessels

Extended time on station without extra fuel load.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does solar fully power the vessel?

On most routes solar works as a meaningful top-up alongside battery or hybrid power rather than a sole source — we size the system to your actual route and loads.

How much deck space do panels need?

It depends on the vessel and target output; we lay out the array during design to fit your roofline without compromising deck use.

What happens on cloudy days?

The hybrid system automatically draws from battery or generator sources, so operation isn't dependent on sunlight.

Can this pair with an existing diesel engine?

Yes, solar and battery systems can be integrated alongside an existing diesel engine as a hybrid setup.
