Solarkatamaran ECOSOL 28
The use of the solar energy is one of the big challenges of the humanity for the future - a small step in this direction is the ECOSOL 28.
The pessengers on board enjoy the eco-friendly way of the low-emission locomotion on the water. The ECOSOL 28 is part of a production run which can be build in different sizes for 12-150 persons for different applications.
The roof of the ECOSOL 28 is partial transparent and the photovoltaik alternator at the same time. In the rugged roof are halogen bulbs integrated which can be dimmed.
The endwalls of the cabin are made up of an all-metal construction or optinally of toned safety glass. The boat can be easily closed with a transparent convertible top on the bow or on the sides. Anyhow it keeps its open nature.
The covering of the deck consists of untreated mahogany. The kasko of the boat is made up of aluminium or of stainless steel.

Energy supply
The solar panels which charges the batteries are integrated into the roof superstructure. The battery-system is made up of low maintenance lead-battery blocks and supplies the ship propulsions with energy. So it is secured, that the ship can be driven in sunny times and in times with no sun. Suitable battery chargers for recharging the batteries over the public power network are already built in.
