These solar panels, often referred to as the “solar skin” of the yacht, harness the sun’s energy with exceptional efficiency. This not only reduces the carbon footprint of the vessel but also ensures a nearly silent and emission-free cruising experience, allowing passengers to connect with nature without any interference from noisy engines or harmful emissions.
