The largest solar boat in the world...!

The exploitation of solar energy employs many people these days either homeowners or large businesses. But the same issue concerns and companies have to do with motor vehicles (whether for cars, airplanes, locomotives, ships).

The PlanetSolar is the largest solar-powered ship in the world. As a type of vessel is a catamaran and is designed to reach the top speed of 15 knots (17mph). It is designed to carry 50 passengers.

The PlanetSolar gets all the power offrom 500 square meters ofphotovoltaic solar panels and will be used on a planned trip around the world in 2011 . Until you see some images to get an idea of the size of this beast .
