1 The engineering design process is an effective way to find a solution to maximize power for building a boat. 2 Solar energy can be captured and transferred to mechanical energy to move a boat. 3 Solar energy collection can be maximized through the engineering design process.
In this paper, the solar powered boat is developed by considering the solar panel to harvest the solar energy and converted into electrical energy to power up motors and stored in a battery. Moreover, the solar powered boat also implies the usage of sun tracking system which is used to maximize the solar harvesting process.
The sun’s energy that reaches the solar panels presents two primary challenges to boat owners. The quality of the sun’s energy that reaches the solar panels is volatile and varies according to many variables. The Solar Boat’s Geographical Location The boat’s latitude is one of the primary factors determining the amount of sun’s energy available.
This will come with time as the electric boat market begins to surge. Solar power propulsion systems (and the boats in which they are installed) are becoming increasingly available. The applications range from small 1HP (equivalent) outboard motors on a small Jon boat to systems that propel large catamaran vessels.
1. Position the solar panel where it will catch the most sun. The top deck of your boat is a perfect place. The solar panel can be attached to the wooden deck using the two sided mounting tape. One experiment you can try is to change the angle of the solar panel on the deck.
This paper describes solar energy systems for boat, encompassing novel Water Piston Engine Propulsion. The primary source of power is solar energy that powers an air compressor whose compressed air is used in the novel engine. The propulsion system is based on the novel engine called Water Piston Engine. George J. Tsekouras et al.:
The solar boat, which weighs 11 tons, typically goes 3.5 knots and can travel up to 107 nautical miles a day in good weather. It has two engines and can sleep 6 people, making it suitable for large groups for visits or short excursions. The boat is powered by the energy needed to light 10 100-watt light bulbs.

Built in Canada in 1983 by the naval architect Nigel Irens, under the supervision of the sailor Mike Birch, she was christened "Formule Tag". In 1993, with Sir Peter Blake, the boat became "ENZA NEW ZEALAND" and won the Jules Verne Trophy, securing a round the world sailing record under sail of 74 days, 22 hours, 17 minutes and 22 seconds.

And think about the massive amount of battery power needed to move a boat, which is like 5x to 10x more than a motor vehicle. And if you want to harvest that massive amount of power from the sun, you will need an extensive number of solar panels, given that solar panels usually don''t get full sun load.
