A next-gen solar system that achieves top efficiency—the highest for silicon solar cells—marking a major advancement in sustainable marine technology.
Real-time optimization through AI: Smart panels use machine learning and real-time data to dynamically adjust output, mitigating shading from sails and superstructure for higher year-round efficiency.
Enhanced energy generation in shaded zones: New bimini-mounted photovoltaic cells are specifically designed to perform in low-light and shaded conditions, maximizing energy yield across all sailing environments.
Durability and diagnostics: Building on Solar Skin 2.0’s 20,000-cycle durability, Solar Skin 3.0 continues to offer robust performance, thermal stability over 100°C, and RFID-enabled diagnostics for easy maintenance.
Fully developed and produced in-house, Solar Skin 3.0 reflects Sunreef Yachts’ commitment to innovation, quality control, and continuous improvement in sustainable marine technology.
Sunreef Yachts continues to lead the way in luxury and sustainability with the introduction of Solar Skin 3.0. As part of a broader design evolution across its new catamaran lineup, this cutting-edge solar system marks a bold step toward smarter, more sustainable yachting.
The launch of Solar Skin 3.0 builds on Sunreef’s legacy, delivering a refined and highly efficient solution that significantly reduces the carbon footprint of each vessel.
Sunreef Yachts CTO Nicolas Lapp explains: “The latest generation of our solar skin technology offers top efficiency—currently the highest attainable for silicon cells—marking a major milestone in marine solar innovation. Leveraging machine learning algorithms and real-time data from Sunreef catamarans operating in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Dubai, we are able to continuously refine panel placement and optimize energy yield. Fully developed and produced in-house, each panel functions as a smart unit, dynamically adjusting its electrical output to mitigate shading effects from sails and superstructure, significantly boosting system efficiency even during winter months.”
