But what about the boat?
Experts say that the aquatic applications of solar energy are developing faster than ever before, and innovation in marine transport will soon become the mainstream from small crafts to cruise ships.
However, it is a major obstacle to the adaptation of ships to clean energy.
Cracks in rigid and heavy solar panels, coupled with already high material costs, wet, wind and salt in the marine environment have repeatedly damaged the technology.
The Finch Bay Hotel in Galapagos received a new all-electric transfer ship, Solar Ray, this year, powered by four 370-watt Solar panels on the roof of the ship.
The most important challenge today, however, is energy storage.
"Overall, this is a problem facing the solar industry," said James Manze of the revised energy company.
"While we can generate electricity today at a low price, storage is still catching up.
"This is important because it is not possible to adjust the current of solar panels, especially when shadows or clouds reduce output, or when facing high-speed power consumption.
"The motor on board relies heavily on storing enough energy to push the ship, and as long as it needs to go, it needs to go," explains Manzer . ".
Even so, higher speeds can drain the battery faster, and battery charging stations cannot accurately stand in the middle of the ocean.
There is no doubt that progress will solve these problems like most other problems.
Materials have become more robust, such as flexible, lightweight and durable solar panels used in the Kara solar river transport project in the indigenous community of the Amazon region of Ecuador.
The pioneers of the project also applied their approach to the airport pick-up boat at the Galapagos Fincher Bay Hotel.
Companies like Oceanvolt are trying to do what Tesla does for cars for ships.
There are also key improvements in cost and supply.
"We see that every time the manufacturing output in the battery sector doubles, the price is reduced by 15%," Manzer said . ".
Of course, for the advocates of solar energy, the benefits of clean energy and the simple gruntto-
Managing electric motors always exceeds the cost.
As we all know, the price of oil and diesel substitutes is very high
Very noisy and harmful, very polluted.
Who wants to hear the roar and stink of diesel engines in the ocean or on the calm canals of France?
On the Amazon River, for example, Oliver Utt, coordinator of Kara Solar, said: "The biggest benefit of quiet is that it makes hunting and fishing easier . ".
This is a slowly open news, with the help of major initiatives like this roundthe-

"It's happening," Manzer said . ".
"Technology is effective.
This will be exponential growth.
It's just a matter of time, if not.
