Prospects of Solar Energy in the Context of Greening Maritime
The technologies and challenges in utilizing solar energy for shipping are analyzed, trends in solar energy for maritime transport are discussed, and future research directions for
They designed a solar and battery tech stack that can completely power a container ship at standard operating speeds. The transition to cleaner fuel is just one way to decarbonize the shipping industry. New retrofit technologies are emerging that can significantly reduce shipping emissions with less wait time.
As a result of the analysis, the challenges related to the use of solar energy on ships were identified, and possible solutions were proposed. Since the highest energy consumption and GHG emissions are attributed to large-displacement cargo ships, the study utilized data specifically for this type of vessel. 4.
This enables vessels to store excess energy produced during the day for use at night or during periods of low sunlight. Furthermore, advances in solar technologies, such as more efficient solar cells and lightweight, flexible panels, are making the use of solar energy on maritime vessels more feasible [77, 119].
The future of solar energy in shipping appears promising. A combination of technological innovations, economic optimization, and legal frameworks could lead to the widespread adoption of solar technologies across various types of vessels.
