From shipyard roof-top installations to the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, solar power is having something of a moment, yet it is rarely found on superyachts. What is the current status of solar tech and will it ever increase traction as an onboard renewable on big boats?While solar power is increasingly a key source of renewable energy for national grids, industrial manufacturers – including shipyards – and homeowners, it hasn’t made much impact on the design and operation of superyachts. Aesthetics, practicalities, cost and low energy yield are all blamed to varying degrees, but that hasn’t put off some corners of the yachting industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360288/image/large-3142d2e9e20f6752e2b892eb27c60d32.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360288">No one visiting a boat show in the past few years could have failed to notice the Eco line of catamarans from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunreef Yachts (Company)">Sunreef Yachts</a>, for example. The Polish brand has made a point not only of using solar power in its hybrid projects, but has developed its own patented, toughened solar panels that are built into every square metre of hull and superstructure. Similarly, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5188" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silent Yachts (Company)">Silent Yachts</a> set out specifically to develop a range of operationally eco-friendly power cats that draw on solar as the dominant power source and couple that to a complete electric drivetrain.“The solar panels are limited by the space on board, which is why historically we picked a catamaran, and also why we didn’t pick a sailing cat where the mast and sails would impede the sunlight,” says Steve Bell, Vice Chairman of the board of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5188" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silent Yachts (Company)">Silent Yachts</a> since the company changed ownership in early 2024. “We store as much energy as we can in batteries, which on our Silent 62 is around 300 kilowatt-hours in total. Cruising at six knots uses 20 kilowatts per motor, or 40 kilowatts total, so a simple maths calculation [300 divided by 40] suggests an eight-hour range.”The 62 carries a total of 16.8 kilowatts-peak (kWp) of solar panels, meaning in an ideal scenario the panels would produce 16.8 kilowatts of power. This is never the case, however, as losses through efficiency, angle of sun, dirt on the cells, or any number of factors, always impedes energy generation. It is one of the details that sometimes gets lost in the marketing about the capabilities for generating power from the sun.&nbsp;“On a really good day our 16.8 kilowatts peak of panels will pull around 12 kilowatts,” confirms Bell. “There’s a misconception that kilowatts-peak equals actual kilowatts produced, but that doesn’t happen with any solar panel.”HotelerieThere is also the hotel load to consider. On the Silent 62, this typically equates to around 10 kilowatts when using energy-hungry systems like the air conditioning, which means the solar panels are serving the hotel load while the stored energy is powering the drivetrain. It starts to make more sense if you consider a typical operational profile, the Med cruising around the Balearic or the Greek islands, for example. This may involve two or three hours of motoring to reach a bay, then spending the rest of the day at anchor.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360286/image/large-34e0f2687d1e3643a5ac280cfb228836.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360286">“What we’re also trying to do is manage the hotel load to keep that energy burn to a minimum, including educating our customers about things like turning stuff off when it’s not needed,” Bell says. “That means you effectively get to run the yacht off solar and only need to charge the batteries with the generator every four or five days.”Bell adds that cruising at 3.5 knots reduces drivetrain power draw to around 8 kilowatts. If you minimise hotel load, this could mean free, continuous daylight cruising. But you still wouldn’t be sailing around the world using only solar power: “You could do that, but only if you want to do it at two knots – which people don’t,” adds Bell.For <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5188" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silent Yachts (Company)">Silent Yachts</a>, whose largest planned model is the 36.74-metre Silent 120 Explorer, scaling up is relatively straightforward for models like the 80, which uses the same propulsion drives as the 62 and has more space for solar panels to handle the increased hotel load. The challenge is transferring the tech to bigger superyachts, where the hotel and propulsion energy demands on energy are exponentially higher. This may suggest there’s a limit to the usefulness of solar as a renewable energy source on superyachts, although that is somewhat missing the point.Substance over styleThe idea of covering every surface of your superyacht with solar cells creates another obstacle centred on aesthetics. Styling is a key driver of owner interest, but one way to integrate solar energy more comprehensively – and less obtrusively – is solar glass. Glass that integrates solar cells to draw power has been around for a long time, and not just in land-based architectural contexts, where the technology is increasingly popular for large public buildings, electric charging stations and even private car ports and domestic terraces.

In this case, a key part of the energy production comes from hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (pv-T) panels developed from existing land-based building tech.In general, however, the pace of development of solar tech has been relatively slow, despite next-gen technologies such as perovskite structures that promise to improve the efficiency of panels at lower cost than traditional silicon cells, and allow for novel uses such as the creation of solar paint, or solar fabrics for awnings and sails. But perovskites are still a way off commercialisation and it doesn’t alter the fact that their placement and orientation will remain critical.Painting with lightThe idea of a paint that can capture energy from the sun has been mooted for several years, but so far no such paint has emerged on the market. In fact, there are three possible solar paint technologies currently being explored – even if they are still years away from commercial production or availability.The first is a product developed by a team at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology that absorbs moisture from the air and uses solar energy to break the water down into hydrogen and oxygen, with the hydrogen being used for clean energy.The second, developed by the University of Toronto, uses colloidal quantum dot photovoltaics – essentially nanoscale semiconductors – to capture light and convert it into electricity more efficiently than conventional solar cells. The dots can be tuned to different light spectrums by changing their size.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360281/image/large-68f2bed1eccceb2588d227d89256d950.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360281">Finally, there are perovskites. Named after a Russian mineralogist, perovskites are a type of crystal structure and have been a topic of discussion for a while now. Perovskites offer properties that allow for higher power conversion efficiency (similar to what are known as multi-junction solar cells) and can take liquid form – ideal for solar paint. A team at the University of Sheffield in the UK developed the first spray-on solar cells back in 2014, but more recently scientists at Oxford University have produced a micro-thin perovskite coating with the potential to generate up to nearly twice the amount of energy of current solar panels and can be applied to almost any surface. The researchers believe that over time, perovskites will be able to deliver efficiency exceeding 44 percent, pointing to the increase in yield they were able to achieve during just five years of experimentation, from 6 to 27 percent.Product placement“The difference in efficiency between having a panel flat or tilting is around 25 percent,” says Bell. “That means if you have panels mounted vertically in the hull topsides, or even on sails, then in the midday sun in the tropics you’re not going to get any photovoltaic energy. For example, at 0900 on a beautiful sunny morning in Venice we looked at what the panels on our 62 were producing, and the high-voltage panels – which are around 13 kilowatt peak and typically produce nine to 10 kilowatts – were producing just 1.8 kilowatts.”While the solar industry is constantly talking about new solutions and innovative products, Bell suggests the fact that manufacturers are selling huge numbers of conventional panels means there is less incentive to invest in new tech and new production methods with potentially high start-up costs.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360283/image/large-1ae37d5eaa282b6960df70ddc4073f0d.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360283">“For our new models we’re looking at how to optimise the space for panels based on retaining aesthetics,” he continues. “We are looking at solar panel tech, but I think that isn’t going to change much for the foreseeable future – technology development at the moment is really in batteries and energy management. Indeed, while there have been some improvements in panel efficiency over recent years, by contrast we’ve gained 15 percent capacity for the same physical size of battery over the same period.”It may well be that the sweet spot for yachts that draw on solar power as a key provider of sustainable energy will remain in the 20 to 40-metre bracket, but there’s still no reason why larger yachts should not include solar as part of their power mix. For one, it’s essentially free and it’s green – at least in the operational phase – and anything that reduces the need for fossil fuel power generation is a positive.Moreover, by its very nature it drives a conversation about how to mitigate energy consumption on board, whether through smart zoning, developing new technologies in air conditioning, insulation and lighting, or just more efficient energy management. As solar tech improves with more efficient cells and more innovative materials able to harvest more energy, it’s only going to get more interesting for yachts of any size.This article was featured in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/magazine/how-to-build-it-issue-6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Issue 6 of How To Build It</a>.&nbsp;You can read all the articles from this edition&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/magazine/how-to-build-it-issue-6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">here</a>, and stay up-to-date with all previous editions&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/magazine" target="_blank">here</a>.

Solar power is having something of a moment, yet it is rarely found on superyachts.

Is the future bright for solar-powered superyachts?

Standing out in the sea of yacht charter, sales, and management companies can be challenging, but <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="DOKA YACHTING (Company)">Doka Yachting</a> has honed its vision to set itself apart. Founded in 2020 by dynamic duo Antoni Vlnieska and Dominika Kitowska, former crew members, they recognised the importance of sound advice and guidance, drawing from first-hand experiences onboard. We learn more about their journey, from former crew members to successful entrepreneurs, their vision for the future of their business, and their thoughts on the industry. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310980/image/large-8e1f81f2f2ac8146f5e112288037960d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310980">How did you first establish&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="DOKA YACHTING (Company)">Doka Yachting</a>?Antoni: I started in the yachting industry at 16 years old; I was an engineer, then worked my way to Captain. I worked across the Mediterranean and the US and met Dominika six years ago when we worked onboard together. Then, in 2020, we decided to move away from crewing and start the company. I first started it on my own, and once I had more work, we built it together. In the beginning, we just had one yacht and were doing charters. Then, step by step, friends and colleagues in our network started to refer us. We have now been based in Monaco for a year. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310982/image/large-00e778335ea1dc63d6a97e7f63d3261b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310982">What factors helped&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="DOKA YACHTING (Company)">Doka Yachting</a>&nbsp;develop?&nbsp;Dominika: Firstly, starting in the pandemic was a huge benefit for us. It brought us many new clients who were scared of conventional travel and turned toward the yachting industry. The charter season of 2022 was an excellent season for us. Being ex-crew members has been so beneficial for us in building our company, as we began by utilising our existing yachting network.Antoni: Being a young company, in the beginning, it took some time to gain the trust of brokers and clients and go through all the correct processes and certifications, but we are there now and are much more established. Last year was a breakthrough year in sales for us, which helped develop our branch in Monaco and included sales such as 46.6-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) (Company)">CdM</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6034" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Audace46.6m (152'11&quot;)Cantiere delle Marche (CdM)2019">Audace</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Arcadia Yachts (Company)">Arcadia</a> 115’ <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4974" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="M35.0m (114'10&quot;)Arcadia Yachts2014">M</a>, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/201" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ISA Yachts (Company)">ISA</a> 36.5-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matsu36.5m (119'9&quot;)ISA Yachts2007">Matsu</a>. Today, we have a great fleet for an agency our size and a promising season ahead, with bookings already for next year.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/87079/image/large-12a28e945cd0bf08ab68439f7aa835d6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/87079"> How has your onboard experience benefitted&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="DOKA YACHTING (Company)">Doka Yachting</a>?Antoni: Being a couple and former crew members ourselves, we wanted to establish a family-oriented business. Transitioning into yacht brokerage felt like a natural progression for us. While we had to learn the professional aspects of brokerage, our first-hand experience onboard gives us a deep understanding of crew dynamics and technical operations. When we assist in selling or purchasing a yacht, we discuss all aspects with the crew and go onboard the vessel, allowing us to give an in-depth technical perspective that sets us apart. This hands-on approach of being ex-crew allows us to see the whole picture that some may overlook. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310984/image/large-f1274e30bb9960bceafb20782ac57a5a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310984">Can you describe your current portfolio and client base?&nbsp;Antoni: Most of our yachts came naturally to us. For example, the friend of an owner who was the first seller of the first boat we sold is how we transitioned into sales. We always knew we wanted to do sales, but we started with charter and then it developed. Our big goal at the moment is to get more yachts in our portfolio above 60 metres for charter to allow us to have more yachts to propose to our clients.&nbsp;Dominika: We have quite a lot of clients that come back to us each year since we began, which is great. In terms of the clients requesting charters, we have definitely experienced the wave of the younger generation entering the industry. We work closely with a lot of Captains and have built these relationships, so a lot of our business comes from these referrals. We have quite a big CA charter listing for an agency our size. Some of our most successful charter yachts are <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1291" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matsu36.5m (119'9&quot;)ISA Yachts2007">Matsu</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/201" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ISA Yachts (Company)">ISA</a> 37-metres, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1975" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Eva31.52m (103'5&quot;)Cheoy Lee1993">Eva</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a> 35-metres; <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12887" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Skyra28.51m (93'6&quot;)Riviera2013">Skyra</a> Integrity 29-metres; and Splash <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunseeker (Company)">Sunseeker</a> 22-metre for day charters. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310985/image/large-06c4ebe6d541c4de3cb75d9968cddd76.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310985">What sets you apart from the competition?Antoni: The key factors for us are our technical knowledge and our previous experience as a former crew; we understand how the industry works on both sides. Our clients are very happy, and they come back to us as they know we bring this experience. When I go to check out a boat for a client, I always talk to the Captain and analyse the technical side and look into how it has been maintained.&nbsp;Dominika: Combining our charter crewing experience with our fresh approach is what sets us apart. We have a genuine passion for what we do, and we hope to bring a younger, more dynamic perspective to the brokerage industry through ourselves and by building our team out. Also, having worked on charter yachts ourselves, we have a lot of knowledge about client needs, which is a big advantage for us when securing our charter clients. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310979/image/large-1a7a68b5c78db6c2f71bc9f262392dd8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310979">How will you look to build your team?Antoni: Each year, we set goals to see where we want to go, and this year, our vision is growth. So, we are looking at a bigger office and to grow the company. But growth isn't just about size; it's about the joy of collaborating and working with others to develop a team with one vision. We want like-minded and passionate people working with us. We are looking for long-term partners to develop a trustworthy relationship and who will value <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="DOKA YACHTING (Company)">Doka</a> just as much as we do.&nbsp;Dominika: For now, we are recruiting people with that same technical, first-hand knowledge. We are first looking for an additional person on the sales side to accompany Antoni, and I will need another person to help me with the charter side in the run-up to a busy season. Our work ethic has always been to help each other out, so we aim to grow our team naturally over the next couple of months and keep that element of teamwork at the front. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310983/image/large-d079939cf433d2f91a0b4b2f810f7c28.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310983">How do you embrace technology and adapt to industry developments?Dominika: Today, it isn't as important to have a physical office but to be present online. For a smaller company like ours, our online presence is how we can get quickly on top. There are definitely more and more digital tools out there; we are pretty strong on the digital side and utilise various platforms, smart tools and technologies within our company. There is also the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), which has enormous potential to shape the industry's future. Many clients coming into the industry have made their money in these technology sectors, such as AI and cryptocurrency, so it will almost become obligatory for the industry to accept these developments. Although, at the moment, our AI implementation is modest, we understand its significance and will expand our use of these digital tools as the industry evolves.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310976/image/large-58ba3e2992fd8aee49ff08bb1612cbd0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310976">Finally, what do you envision for the future of&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="DOKA YACHTING (Company)">Doka Yachting</a>?Antoni: We try to do a little more each year, and this has come naturally so far, so it will continue when the team grows. We will advise each other and continually improve. We want to keep our family-oriented values when we offer something we deliver, which is very important and why clients keep returning to us. At the moment, our recruitment will focus on sales and charter, but eventually, we would also like to grow our management team.Dominika: We take pride in our achievements so far as a small company based in Monaco, and we continue to be driven by our passion for steady and sustainable growth and evolution. By embracing innovation, adapting to changes in the industry, and nurturing a team, we are confident that we will continue to thrive and establish ourselves even further in the industry.&nbsp;
