Abstract

Solar energy become alternative in the provide power for many transportation modes. It is also growing fast in the sea transportation such as ship and boat. The lack of solar power is relatively low power output instead of the free in prices. In the other hand, to get higher power then such as energy sources need bigger plant area. Therefore, one of the solution that will be explore in this study is using lighter boat material such as HDPE to lowering draft and in consequently should lowering hull resistance. Combined latest solar cell technology and lightest HDPE material may present a better design in term of technical and economic aspects. A double impact for green earth campaign by a good combination of renewable energy and environmentally friendly materials. This work uses a 15 meter crossing river boat as case study. The proposed design analyzed to perform as many owner requirements as possible to serve in the certain crossing river area. Also there will be comparative study with the other ship material commonly used such as fiberglass and aluminum.
