PV installation on  200-meter vessel with hybrid propulsion

The ocean vessel is equipped with over 500 of Longi’s Sea-Shield modules, engineered with advanced anti-corrosion technology and tailored for durability in harsh marine environments. The modules cover the entire upper deck space of the ship and provide stable clean energy for the vessel’s lighting, communication, and other equipment.

Electric hydrofoil ferry to operate in Northern Ireland by 2024

The PV system provides a peak power of 302.8 kilowatts and generates 410,000 kWh of electricity annually, saving approximately 111 tons of fuel. The 200-meter-long solar and LNG dual-fuel car carrier has now embarked on its maiden voyage.

Specially designed solar modules

The "Yuanhai Kou" measures 199.9 meters in total length, with a gross tonnage of 68,252 tons and a displacement of 39,069 tons. It features 12 vehicle decks, including 8 fixed decks and 4 movable decks, with a loading capacity of 7,000 standard car parking spaces. It can carry all types of vehicles such as sedans, engineering vehicles, and buses, as well as MAFI cargo.

Will battery tanker ships become part of the global power grid for the future? 

Designed for the demanding conditions of marine environments which are characterized by high salt spray, humidity, and vibration, the Sea-Shield series modules offer enhanced resistance to corrosion and water ingress. This is achieved through the use of anti-corrosion frame materials, reinforced sealing processes, and specially designed junction boxes, ensuring stable and efficient power output in complex shipborne scenarios and supporting reliable green energy generation during navigation.
