The world’s biggest solar-powered boat, PlanetSolar will be sailing around the world. Weighing 60-ton and costing 18 million euro ($24.4 million), the catamaran will be fuelled by photovoltaic cells from SunPower Corporation. It will be introduced for sea trails from Germany’s Knierim Yacht Club.
Solar boat skipper and chief executive Raphael Domjan will be touring around the world with Gerard d’Aboville beginning in April to promote solar power and the sea transport’s part in reducing global carbon emissions.
The solar boat will be visiting Abu Dhabi, Hamburg, London, Paris, New York, San Francisco, and Singapore in early 2011.
