no more fuel
The SoelCat 12 is a trailblazing energy autonomous solar electric catamaran. It brings true eco-tourism to waterbound resorts, lagoons, nature reserves and reefs. During downtime, the SoelCat 12 can utilise its solar array to feed your AC grid. Just plug it in – as simple as that.
No sunshine or nightly cruises? The 120kWh lithium battery systems supply all the energy needed.
electric operator from the start
The SoelCat 12 solar electric catamaran is integrally designed for electric propulsion right from the first lines drawing to the matched propeller. Every aspect of this vessel contributes towards its highly efficient solar electric sailing.
The lightweight yet tough and durable fiberglass construction, the large solar roof and the super slender hulls are the major key factors for the solar vessel’s high performance when it comes to speed and range. The electric catamaran can even be used as a mobile AC power station with 15kVA of AC inverter power.

A RETURN ON INVESTMENT — EVEN MOORED AT THE DOCK
The solar electric catamaran SoelCat 12 requires no fuel, ever. Commercially use of the SoelCat 12 can save up to 142 tons of CO2 annually in comparison to a conventional propelled vessel with 200-liter-per-day fuel consumption.
When the SoelCat 12 is not in use for electric sailing, your AC power bill is greatly reduced by the vessel’s 8.6kWp solar array. The solar electric catamaran then becomes a mobile power station, which is able to feed back into the grid or provide power where no grid is available.
efficient even on the road
The SoelCat 12 is demountable and fits into two 40ft high cube containers. Such compact dimensions means the electric catamaran is easily transported at affordable rates all over the world. Neither lamination processes or specialized tools are required for the SoelCat 12’s assembly on location.
