Renewable energy for autonomous cruising
The production of renewable energy at sea is achieved with solar panels on the coachroof, as well as an option for hydroelectric power created by reverse-spinning propellers while under sail. The Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 ODSEA+ electric catamaran pairs this energy production with a pair of advanced Smart Electric© motors and two large LFP lithium battery banks, the most stable technology on the market.
The solar and hydroelectric power stored in the battery banks can provide energy for an extended stay at anchor, while a combustion engine powered generator serves as a backup and maintains a minimum charge. An advanced energy management system lets you monitor and adjust energy production and expenditure from a convenient display console.
