This episode explores how Open Water Solar is making high-reliability, marine-grade solar a practical energy source for all boaters and boatbuilders. CEO Simon Angus explains why conventional panels fail in marine environments and how composite-encapsulated solar technology solves microcracking, shading losses, and durability issues that limit performance on yachts of any type. We discuss solar decking as a new category of usable, non-slip, fully integrated energy surfaces that give OEMs and refit yards greater design freedom and dependable onboard power generation. Essential listening for builders, naval architects, captains, and owners seeking long-life, low-maintenance solar that enhances autonomy and reduces generator dependence.
Key Points
- Why standard solar fails in marine environments
- Composite solar decks increase durability and uptime
- Design-phase integration improves OEM efficiency
