Solar panels on boats are the future of boating not because it's good for the environment (that is just a bonus), but because the engines are quiet and there is no smell.
Host Andrew Lewin sits down with Simon Angus, CEO of Open Water Solar, to discuss innovative solutions for electrifying boats and reducing noise pollution in our oceans. Simon shares his journey from a mechanical engineer in the oil and gas industry to creating flexible, durable solar panels designed specifically for marine use.
Discover how Simon's passion for sailing and engineering led him to develop solar technology that not only enhances the boating experience but also contributes to a more sustainable future for our oceans. Learn about the challenges he faced in creating these solar panels, the importance of reducing noise pollution for marine life, and the exciting potential for hybrid electric boats.
