Remote Energy Systems

Ben took one of our prototypes to Newfoundland in July 2021. Him and his family were mostly off-grid cruising since there are limited marinas on the island, therefore solar power was important!
He saw a consistent 4.5A boost from our 90W prototype and provided valuable feedback. He is planning to sail to Bermuda this summer and may take our next prototype with him.
Thanks for the help Ben!

Last summer our first full-size alpha prototype was tested by our co-founder Simon Herbinger on his parent's sailboat in the adriatic sea! They cruised from Croatia to Greece on a 345 Beneteau First.

The sailboat already had 110W of rigid panels on the davits. Our 90W prototype was installed on the dodger and bimini and worked well! Producing much-needed extra electrical power under the Mediterranean sun.

Simon collected power, temperature and sunlight intensity data from our prototype and the competition (110W rigid panel) with custom-made Raspberry Pi powered Data Collection Units. The data was later processed and analyzed, giving us valuable technical insight.

The prototype got hot! This is something we think we have solved with our new, and improved, prototypes currently being developed.

Stay tuned for more posts about our alpha-prototype user tests and news about our newest design to be tested this summer!

Sailboat owners, we'd like hear about your decision making process when it comes to solar power and other power solutions for your vessels!
In our effort to understand the needs and properly reach sailors in the future we are conducting another survey. We need to know what goes into sailors' decisions to purchase solar power, and other energy solutions, for their sailboats.
If you own a sailboat or can share this with someone who does, help us make the best product possible and reach the people it could benefit most by completing this short 10-15 minute survey.
