SESIGNING THE LARGEST SOLAR-POWERED YACHT

摘要

Sometimes when you have a dream, you just have to go big. That's what Immo Stroher, head of solar energy firm IMMOSO-LAR GmbH (Langen, Germany), and Switzerland-based business partner Raphael Domjan, a proponent of environmentally sustainable boating, did to demonstrate that solar power is not only viable, but also "commercially realistic," the partners emphasize. The two made their concept of solar mobility real in the form of a unique oceangoing yacht, dubbed Turanor, that is currently circumnavigating the globe. Launched in March 2010 in Kiel, Germany, it's the world's largest solar-powered vessel.
