Revolutionizing Marine Solar Power: A Conversation with Simon Angus

[Watch The Full Interview: The Future of Marine Solar]

The Problem with Traditional Solar Panels

Before we dive into the innovative solutions offered by Open Waters Solar, let's address the shortcomings of traditional solar panels in marine applications.

  • Aesthetics: Traditional solar panels can often be bulky and unsightly, detracting from the sleek design of modern boats.

  • Durability: Marine environments are harsh, with exposure to salt, water, and extreme weather conditions. Traditional panels may not withstand these challenges.

  • Efficiency: The orientation and shading of solar panels on a boat can significantly impact their performance.

Open Waters Solar: A New Era of Marine Solar Power

Simon Angus, the visionary CEO of Open Waters Solar, is determined to change the way we think about marine solar power. His company's innovative approach focuses on three key areas:

  1. Durability: Open Waters Solar panels are built to withstand the rigors of marine environments. They are encapsulated in a durable fiberglass composite laminate, making them highly resistant to impact and water damage.

  2. Efficiency: The company's panels are designed to optimize energy output, even in challenging conditions. They carefully consider factors like shading, orientation, and voltage to maximize performance.

  3. Aesthetics: Open Waters Solar panels are sleek and customizable, seamlessly integrating into the design of any boat.

The Future of Marine Solar Power

As the marine industry shifts towards more sustainable solutions, solar power is becoming increasingly important. Hybrid boats, in particular, rely on solar energy to extend their range and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Open Waters Solar is at the forefront of this revolution, providing innovative solutions that empower boat owners to enjoy the benefits of clean energy.

By addressing the limitations of traditional solar panels, Open Waters Solar is setting a new standard for marine solar power. With their focus on durability, efficiency, and aesthetics, they are helping to shape the future of sustainable boating.
