Fixed-geometry and/or variable-geometry surfaces for capturing solar energy by means of photovoltaic cells, films, and panels, in particular for watercraft

Abstract

A surface for capturing solar energy, which can be applied on a watercraft, characterized in that- it is a fixed-geometry and/or variable-geometry surface and comprises a plurality of photovoltaic cells and/or films and/or panels for conversion of the solar energy captured into electrical energy. Said cells are applied directly or indirectly on the surfaces of a watercraft. In the solution with variable geometry, the surface for capturing solar energy is constituted substantially by a plurality of slats hinged to one another or else by fabrics made so as to enable increase or reduction of the sail surface, but not of the surface for capturing solar energy.
