Largest Solar-Powered Yacht
PlanetSolar Debuts The World's Largest Solar-Powered Yacht
A skipper's dream of sailing across the ocean using solar power is about to come true. More impressively, he'll be sailing on arguably the world's largest pollution-free yacht, the PlanetSolar, which was unveiled Thursday at the HDW Shipyard in Germany.
Designed by a team of international engineers, PlanetSolar is a multihull white catamaran topped by about 5,300 square feet of black photovoltaic solar panels consisting of some 38,000 of SunPower's next-generation cells.
Each of the cells offers an efficiency of at least 22 percent--the highest-efficiency solar cells commercially available. The boat is expected to be both silent and clean.
