Sunreef Yachts has introduced its Solar Skin 3.0, advancing solar power generation as part of a design evolution across its new catamaran lineup.
The new solar system is a step toward smarter, more sustainable yachting.
The launch of Solar Skin 3.0 builds on Sunreef’s legacy, delivering a solution developed to significantly reduces the carbon footprint of each vessel.
The previous generation, Solar Skin 2.0 offered 24.8% efficiency and thermal stability — capable of operating at temperatures above 100°C and compatible with dark paint finishes.
It also featured resistance to micro cracking, having been durability-tested over 20,000 load cycles.

RFID chips are incorporated in each panel for seamless diagnostics and maintenance.
The newly launched Solar Skin 3.0 is a step further for Sunreef Yachts introducing intelligent yield optimisation, using advanced algorithms to adjust electrical output in real-time, especially in areas affected by complex shading from sails or rigging.
The layout of the solar system has been designed using machine learning algorithms to optimise panel placement, ensuring maximum energy efficiency tailored to real-world usage.
Additionally, the bimini areas of the new catamarans are now equipped with next-generation photovoltaic cells specifically optimised for shaded environments, further enhancing energy generation even under less-than-ideal lighting conditions.
“This is more than just an upgrade—it’s a visionary leap toward the future of yachting,” said a spokesperson from Sunreef Yachts.
