This coming Wednesday, August 12 is the christening of the solar-powered.. Passenger ship "Solon" a new chapter in the Berlin pitched passenger shipping. The approximately 17 meters long and 6.6 meter wide ship can be driven in the future up to 60 people completely emission-free by the Berlin waters. It is a ship of the line of the company Aquabus C60 SolarWaterWorld
The easy flow-optimized design of the catamaran vessel has several advantages: On one hand is required for an up to 20 km / h fast transport far less energy than conventional monohulls, on the other hand, the operation of vessels produced no noteworthy bow waves and no exhaust. Das Schiff kann deshalb auch in sensiblen Gewässern eingesetzt werden. In addition, engine noise is barely perceptible, so that the glide across the water makes a truly unique relaxing experience.

The distribution of the drive to two separately controllable motors makes the vessel highly manoeuvrable and puncture resistant.
The reliable technology of an identical model made possible by the way in 2007 the first all solar electric crossing the Atlantic.
