Team

From a simple idea to a committed, close-knit team. In just a few years, their team has grown from a handful of students to 94 people.

project

Their vision is to take the idea of electromobility from the automotive industry to marine transport. The origins of the project date back to 2015, when members of the eco-energy student research group and the academic sailing club decided to combine their passion for sailing with their knowledge of renewable energy sources and together build a solar-powered boat.

project

The SOLAR solar boat is a boat powered by the sun. It contains solar panels that generate electricity. This is then used to power its systems.

The SOLAR solar boat project began in the 2011/2012 academic year. With this project, students take part in the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge every year. To challenge themselves and their SOLAR solar boat, they sail from the Netherlands to the competition in Monaco.

Institut Supérieur Technique

3 participations

Team

The team was created in 2015 by 8 Naval and Oceanic, as well as Mechanical Engineering students. In 2017 TSB competed for the first time in Monaco with its first solar prototype. In 2019 the group achieved its best result with an incredible second place in the Solar Class A. This year, the team will compete with its third solar powered boat (the same that competed last year), but with some improvements.

project

We are currently a unique project on the Iberian Peninsula. In July 2019, we took second place in the Solar A class at the Monaco Solar and Energy Boat Challenge.

Our latest addition, the SR 03, features a uniquely designed twin engine system and three autonomously controlled hydrofoils. It is designed for fast, fluid cruising on the high seas and in river environments.
