Introducing the Mothership Solar Electric Narrowboat. She is the first of her kind, a purpose built solar powered boat with an electric motor and back-up generator. Her steel hull offers the strength and toughness needed for life on canals. But the superstructure is a lightweight super-strong composite the has been moulded to house recessed solar panels. It is an elegant and practical solution that offers many benefits. Integrated Solar panels The GRP modules with recessed solar panels fit snuggly over a traditional steel hull. It means build time can be drastically reduced because fitting out the interior can take place with the roof off. The underside is finished and fitted with down lights. Available to other boat builders This patented* design is available to other boat builders, it comes with solar panels pre-fited on the the topside and a tounge’n’groove finish on the underside together with fitted down lights. After finishing the interior, drop on the roof, connect the electrics. Job done.
