Whatever your needs and your budget, Thames Solar Electric can get you going on the water using nothing but solar power. We are the only company in the UK with the experience and knowledge to produce 100% solar electric-powered boats without the need for diesel.
Our Solar Electric Propulsion Systems can be sold separately for fitting into other boats, or we can provide an installation service.
The prices below are provided as a guide only for standard length boats. We can build any length, and the price varies accordingly. Prices quoted below exclude VAT, as some larger-size boats qualify for zero-VAT rating under certain circumstances. We also offer a range of additional extras (see below) to suit your needs and budget.
Our basic Sailaways include the steel shell of the boat, a primed and blackened hull, our Solar Electric Propulsion System (SEPS), triple-glazed frameless windows and doors, and triple (70mm) insulation on battened walls and under a plywood subfloor. Ready for you to sail away and begin your own internal fit-out.
