Planet Solar :The World's Largest Solar Powered Boat

I would like to share this information, to show that how the technology is drastically moving towards Peaks.

MS Tûranor PlanetSolar also known with the project name "PlanetSolar" is the world's largest Solar Powered boat. Even though there are many other boats which are made with solar panels but it is the largest among them.




Another Specialty of this largest boat is.. It is the first solar powered boat which Circumnavigate(circled) around the world.It took 584 days to cover the whole world and planetsolar also ensures that it is the first electric vehicle to campaign whole world.

Coming towards Technical aspects it is lined with 500 square meters of solar panels rated 93 kW and having two electric motors attached.The Boat PlanetSolar moves 15 miles per hour but by taking the help of other renewable sources like wind it could move even more faster.



The panels can also soak up enough stored energy to power the boat in cloudy weather for three whole days. The excess energy is stored in a giant lithium-ion battery. The cost of boat is around $26 million.

Advantages will be Pollution free and no extra costs for fuel whereas disadvantages will be the requirements which are used to build the boat are highly expensive.

Thus by using Solar panels in the deck it eliminates the usage of fuel and gas which also helps to make pollution free environment.I hope you people enjoyed this article for more interesting topics refer to our blog Learn-Share-Enjoy..:)
