SOLALIS has mission to popularize electric boats
Amazon Biom is essential to all life on Earth and is crucial in climate stabilization on our planet. It is holding 40% of the planet's carbon and 20% of sweet water, plus 10% of biodiversity and many unique cultures. Here everyone somehow depends on water transportation. Great distances together with high fuel cost are preventing sustainable development and forest preservation.
Riverside communities today are spending half of the income on fossil fuel to run boats and to generate energy at home. This forest guards communities have the lowest Human Development Index in the world.
Conventional boats are very costly to maintain and to operate and harmful to the environment. They are running on costly fossil fuel, demanding lots of maintenance, causing accidents, making noise and polluting.
Solar boats that can generate and store energy and have infinite range will boost a new bioeconomy, improve quality of living of riverside communities, generate green jobs. They will help to protect the largest rainforest and keep the planet cool.
SOLALIS projects
Prototype
An affordable electric boat model for the riverside communities for mass production.
Pilot
Pilot for passenger transport - boat that will guarantee break-even point for the company, financial stabilization. It will provide transport service for tourists and generate regular revenue. Pilot will also be a test drive boat for potential customers and promotional model. It will generate essential data.
Floating Solar Charging Community Center pilot
Floating parking for boats. Solar charging point with modular and interchangeable batteries for use on the boat and at home.
Electric house boat
Houseboats built with bamboo and bioplastic, equipped with electric engine, batteries, photovoltaic panels, compost toilet. It is self-sufficient, fully solar powered floating house.
Solution is designed to fit the needs of the riverbanks communities living in the Amazon Rainforest - to reduce huge housing deficit and improve the quality of living.
