SOLAR POWER CONVERSIONS ON ANY POWER CATAMARAN WITH INBOARDS

How much will it cost to convert? Is the most common question we get.  This single question can only be properly answered after we determine what electric system works best for the catamaran and the customer. What type of hybrid are you interested in? Two electric motors with a DC generator as a range extender or a single electric motor replacing one of the two diesels?  What are the speed and range expectations?  Full electric can match the speed of diesels when burning 10 gallons per hour.  A diesel engine and electric motor combination allows for higher speeds. How large should the solar array be?  Where is the yacht located?

Once those essential questions are answered, we have a good idea of what the cost will be for your custom conversion.  Still, continuing forward with the design and planned implementation of all parts will bring us to the best cost estimate.

We can do a solar conversion on the house or the house and one or both engines anywhere in the world as long as there is a good working marina in the area.

Electric motors paired with a solar array offer a boating experience ideal for Cruisers. 

This combination of parts creates a hybrid; half sailboat, half powerboat.  Unlimited range, low pollution and silence are qualities closely matching our sailing heritage. Ease of operation and ability to operate singlehanded are qualities like those in a powerboat. 

As a bonus, all electric yachts have plenty of battery power to run the house load for days without ever running a generator

​

Complete autonomy and ocean crossing ability are now available to a couple at the 70' size.  Sacrifice nothing while using energy gathered from the sun. 

Two tried and tested hybrid models are available, inquire about the Serial Hybrid or Parallel Hybrid model today!

​

In our Parallel model, each propeller shaft is attached to one diesel motor (450hp), the Transfluid clutch system and two 20kw electric machines. This system provides high speeds over 15 knots and a redundancy level necessary for open blue water. It is rated for transatlantic crossings and can be configured to cross the pacific. The diesel engine's alternator is upgraded by Integrel Solutions to allow for 12kW of power to charge the Lithium batteries whenever it is running. 

​

At idle the inboard motor functions as a generator, while underway with diesel the electric machines can generate an additional 40kW of power.  

While at rest, the solar arrays are large enough to supply the entire house load in all but extreme conditions.  Excess power is stored in our large battery bank and can be used later for propulsion.

​

In practical use, you could spend several days at an island then use the power you stored to travel an additional 5-30 miles to the next island. Leave the diesel in the tank and travel on green energy.

​

Our Serial Hybrid model only uses electric motors on the shaft.  250kW electric motors large DC gensets power this vessel over 12 knots.  

​

The world is a beautiful place;

We strive to keep it that way by not polluting.
