Solar panels are becoming more and more efficient, which means that various objects covered with them can be powered with free energy almost indefinitely, just like the SolarImpact yacht.

It’s an amazing idea to discover the islands on a yacht or boat. What about having a yacht that can swim forever thanks to its sun-powered engine? 

Yes, it is currently the most ecological and also phenomenal concept of the yacht in the world. Its owner decided to install solar panels on its deck with a total area of ​​300 square meters. No, they do not disfigure this boat, because they have been designed in such a way that they beautifully and subtly fit in with its unique design.

The powerful panel system is complemented by electric motors and batteries with a capacity of up to 800 kWh, which provide 10 hours of uninterrupted voyage at a speed of 40 km/h, this 24-meter long and weighing 70 tons luxury boat. Interestingly, the yacht can swim and be powered indefinitely if it moves at a speed of up to 10 km/h.

A traditional drive was also installed on board SolarImpact. There are two 87 HP diesel engines. If an electric drive fails, the unit will be able to safely reach the port with its help. We know it sounds wonderful. 

Although the project looks great, it is only a render for now. It was recently revealed at the Cannes Yachting Festival. Its creators ensure that if there is a lot of interest in it, and all this indicates, this beautiful yacht will really appear.

If you have ever experienced traveling on a boat or yacht, fuel problems are always an issue that we must solve. When we are going to have a sun-powered engine (and the system), then we can travel to other continents without any problem. Just be careful when you are checking the weather in other locations that you are running to.
