Upsolar and Greenheart Develop Zero-Emission Steamship
As an international leader in solar module supply, Upsolar has announced that its photovoltaic components will power the onboard systems of Greenheart’s first ship. Greenheart, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to developing low-cost, zero-emission freighters. The Sailing Vessel (S/V) Greenheart, a renewable energy-powered ship, will serve as a model vessel to support global environmental protection, economic development, and education initiatives.
The S/V Greenheart is designed with a modern, efficient approach, utilizing both solar and wind energy for propulsion and onboard operations. It features Upsolar modules installed on hatches, roofs, and canopies, generating approximately two kilowatts of power to support navigation, communication, and desalination processes. The ship’s energy storage system collects power from both the PV system and on-board wind technology, ensuring continuous operation and complete independence from fossil fuels.
Gavin Allwright, Commercial Director of the Greenheart project, emphasized the importance of partnering with organizations that share their commitment to environmental and social responsibility. “Cooperation with Upsolar allows us to achieve our goals of clean, affordable transportation,†he said. “The S/V Greenheart is just the first step in our global roadmap for expanding our solar-powered fleet.â€
Scheduled to make its maiden voyage in early 2014, the S/V Greenheart will test various applications such as fishing and ecotourism. Chiang Kai-shek, CEO of Upsolar, praised the project as a milestone in sustainable maritime development. “We are proud to be part of this initiative that promotes global cooperation, environmental awareness, and clean energy solutions,†he added.
Upsolar specializes in producing high-quality solar PV modules at competitive prices, offering customers a secure and long-term investment. With a strong focus on research and development, as well as flexible manufacturing platforms, the company ensures top-tier performance and reliability. All products come with industry-leading guarantees, ensuring superior performance throughout the system's lifetime. In addition to its commercial efforts, Upsolar actively supports environmental sustainability through sponsorships and community initiatives.
The Greenheart project aims to revolutionize the shipping industry by introducing a modern, solar- and wind-powered freighter. Unlike traditional sailing ships, the S/V Greenheart is designed for efficiency, versatility, and sustainability. It will function as a transport vessel, a corporate headquarters, and a training platform for young people worldwide. Additionally, it will promote international cooperation, clean energy, and fair trade practices.
