‘The SolarShuttle, the UK’s first solar powered boat, doesn’t stop dead when the sun decides to hide.
The ethics and the big idea behind it…it’s a real privilege for an industrial designer to work on something like this. You have to do so much rubbish in your career before you get a chance like this to address the big question facing all of us—which is “What is the future of energy?”
When the boat is not in use, the SolarShuttle acts as a floating power generator, feeding surplus electricity back into the national grid. Solar energy is its one and only source of power, storing energy in batteries and working in conjunction with two silent electric motors without any help from fossil fuels or the wind”…..
The SolarShuttle:Rain or shine, this boat powers on.
