Technical FAQs 4

Can solar panels be installed on seagoing ships?

Netherlands-based Wattlab offers SolarDeck, a modular and scalable deck-mounted solar system that can be installed on seagoing ships. Established in 2017, Wattlab initially focused on inland shipping with its Solar Flatrack product, a movable and stackable modular system integrated with solar panels and inverters.

Can solar panels save energy in maritime shipping?

Using solar PV solutions to generate electricity can reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and CO 2 emissions in maritime shipping. Netherlands-based Wattlab offers SolarDeck, a modular and scalable deck-mounted solar system that can be installed on seagoing ships.

Can a cargo ship store a solardeck?

However, we also know – for cargo shipowners especially – that ‘space is money’. In the event of a deck load such as offshore wind blades, the ship’s crew can store the SolarDeck inside the volume of a 20-foot container, thus freeing up the deck for cargo,” says Wattlab CEO Bo Salet.

Can solar power be used in inland shipping?

For the first time in inland shipping, solar energy can be transferred directly to the vessel’s drivetrain, advancing clean propulsion technology. The Blue Marline is the first inland shipping vessel capable of hybrid sailing with solar power. Wattlab
