For the first time in inland shipping, solar energy can be transferred directly to the vessel’s drivetrain, advancing clean propulsion technology. The Blue Marline is the first inland shipping vessel capable of hybrid sailing with solar power. Wattlab
The possibility of using solar photovoltaic (PV) modules aboard cargo vessels in Dutch waterways was investigated in research by Jong and Ziar . The goal of the project was to reduce CO₂ emissions by equipping inland cargo boats with PV panels.
The research aimed to enhance overall reliability, islanding protection, and fault detection of DC grid-connected solar PV systems on ships. The study suggested directions for implementing larger solar systems and improving hybrid control techniques.
The proposed system could generate 5.8 kWh of solar energy per day, enabling up to 7 h of daily operation. The ship utilized a photovoltaic generation system, a diesel engine, battery energy storage, a hybrid control system, and an inverter.
Our standardized photovoltaic container and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
