Since the dawn of civilization, watertransportation has been the ideal mode

of transport. In the 21st century, solar panels have

been made popular and arecommercialized throughout the world.

Today, we are here to introduce andpresent our very own model of a solarpowered speed boat.

Main function of a solar cell is to convertlight energy to electrical energy

This is achieved when light energy fromthe sun touches the solar cell and causesthe electrons to move which generateselectricity.

Aerodynamic shape to reduce drag

Streamlined double hull design to

reduce friction Triple-deck design for ease of use and

support

Lower deck angle at 30 degrees foroptimum propeller function.
