Solar Cell-Topped Catamarans

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Solar Dream Catamaran Boat is an Eco-Friendly Vessel

— February 21, 2017 — Autos
The Solar Dream Catamaran boat is an aquatic vessel that aims to offer a lavish experience that doesn't come at the expensive of the environment thanks to the eco energy design.

The Solar Dream Catamaran features a deck on the upper portion that is covered with 42-square meters of solar cells that work to capture the power of the sun and transfer it to the engines for propulsion.

The Solar Dream Catamaran is the design work of Dennis Ingemansson and has a maximum speed of up to 22-knots as well as 580-square meters of interior living space. This accommodates up to eight guests, four crew members as well as the captain to make the Solar Dream Catamaran boat a vessel ideal for extended trips.
