Abstracts: With the increased fuel energy demand and fear of depletion of the fossil fuel for year ahead marks most of boat users facing problem with higher cost of the fuel. This project is about the design and development of a solar boat that is powered by an electric motor which gets its supply from photovoltaic (PV) panels and utilizes solar energy. The system is using solar panel, rechargeable battery and electric and converting such energy to electrical power that is delivered to the rechargeable battery for recharging thereof. A rechargeable battery is connected to an electric motor for providing electrical power to drive the motor. This solar boat is developed to minimize and economize the the electricity uses for its electric motor and maximizes the usefulness of solar energy in our life without wasting it and then extends the system for commercial market.
