Solar catamaran boat showcased in new video

The SoelCat 12, a solar-powered boat.

Soel Yachts, a company that blog logodesigned the SoelCat 12, a solar-charged and solar-powered boat that runs 100 percent on sunshine generated electricity when traveling at speeds of six knots or below, recently released a YouTube video that highlights the unique solar-charged catamaran zooming around a beautiful tropical island.

The video is a just a bit too long (2:27) — maybe 40 seconds or so. However, it’s fun to watch the aesthetically pleasing SoelCat “motoring” around in a beautiful tropical island setting with lots of sun!

The SoelCat 12 has a total lithium battery capacity of 120kWh and can operate for sixĀ hours at eight knots on batteries alone. The 39-foot vehicleĀ canĀ cruise at speeds between six and 15 knots.

ā€œAt six knots, the vessel operates entirely off the energy provided by the solar panels during sun shine hours,ā€ notes David Czap, who has worked on theĀ design of the solar pontoon.
