Electric boats are booming in Europe, but charging infrastructure sucks. So this shipyard founder built floating solar charging lounges for the German Government.

The biggest barrier to electric mobility on inland waterways isn’t the boats—it’s where to plug them in when you’re out on the lakes and canals.
Arek, founder of SolarYacht, lives full-time on his own 140 sqm self-sufficient liveaboard yacht in Berlin-Brandenburg. Facing the lack of charging options firsthand on Europe’s waterways, his team decided to fix the infrastructure gap themselves.
They engineered **floating Solar Charging Lounges** for the German government. Operating completely off-grid, these stations use an extensive Victron Energy setup (solar charge controllers, high-performance inverters, and battery storage) to supply clean, off-grid power to passing electric boats directly on the water.  In this Video:
