After two pilots and a full-scale installation on the Vertom Tula, Wattlab is ready to bring the Solar Flatrack to Panamax and Capesize vessels.

Wattlab wins the IBJ Environmental Protection Award for the Solar Flatrack, validated by TNO with a confirmed ROI of 3 to 5 years.

Berge Rederi signs with Wattlab for 96 Solar Flatracks on the BRF Froan, the world’s largest battery-powered bulk carrier.

44 Solar Flatracks installed on the Vertom Tula in a single day. The first seagoing coaster in the world with a full-scale solar installation.

Wattlab and HGK Shipping deliver the Blue Marlin, the first inland vessel to use solar power directly for propulsion. 192 panels, 35 kW peak output.

Wattlab launches SolarDeck, a modular plug-and-play solar system for seagoing vessels, developed and tested with TNO and Vertom.

The pilot is done, the results are good, and Bo Salet is ready to talk about what comes next for solar power on seagoing vessels.
