MS Turanor PlanetSolar, the first vehicle to travel around the world using solar energy only
MS Turanor PlanetSolar: First Vehicle To Travel Around World Using Only Solar Energy
The MS Turanor PlanetSolar became the first vehicle to have successfully travel around the world only using solar energy today (4 May).
After more than 19 months of navigation around the globe the world's largest solar ship ever built has crossed the finish line at 2.12pm local time in the Hercule harbour in Monaco.
After a journey of 60,006 km that has taken them through all the oceans and continents, the eco-adventurers finally met their loved ones and the onshore crew again welcomed by the applause of a large crowd.
Following a course close to the equator, which led through the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal, the vessel has made many stopovers in 28 countries during its voyage, such as Tangier, Miami, Cancun, the Gal (FOTO:DUKAS/REX)

'Turanor PlanetSolar,' the world's largest solar powered yacht, Brisbane, Australia - 29 May 2011

'Turanor PlanetSolar,' the world's largest solar powered yacht, Brisbane, Australia - 29 May 2011
The world's largest solar boat, Turanor PlanetSolar arrived on its first Australian stopover at Riverside Centre Pontoon, Brisbane, part of its quest to become the first fully solar-powered vessel to circumnavigate around the world. In its record breaking attempt, Turanor PlanetSolar will cover approximately 27,000 nautical miles in its effort to prove that current renewable energy technologies are reliable and effective and to demonstrate the potential of environmentally responsible mobility concepts.
The multi-hull catamaran measures 31 metres by 15 metres and has a solar photovoltaic surface area of over 537 square meters, hosting 38,000 high-efficiency solar cells, making it the biggest solar-powered ship in the world. Founded by 'Turanor' co-skipper Raphael Domjan, Planet Solar will use the expedition to prove that current renewable energy technologies are reliable and effective, and to advance scientific research into the production and storage of solar energy. After embarking from Monaco on September 27 2010, the 'Turanor' has already broken two records: fastest crossing of the Atlantic Ocean by solar boat and longest distance ever covered by a solar electric vehicle.
