"The marine industry has often been passed by with regards to identifying new alternative energy sources. At SolidNav, our main objective is to identify and apply engineering expertise to building climate-friendly forms of marine propulsion," said Jason Russell, president of SolidNav. "Our products are not only available today, but they are more reliable, cost effective and cleaner than traditional diesel- or gas-powered engines."
SolidNav began its research and development processes on its electric technology in 2005. Over the past three years the company has worked to develop the Traveler and Explorer, which officially went on sale in 2008.
SolidNav Explorer
The Explorer is SolidNav's flagship product. For years, boating enthusiasts have relied on petroleum-based engine applications to power their boats. For the first time in marine history, the SolidNav Explorer is the first mass produced electric engine solution for sailboats. Equivalent to a 24 horsepower diesel engine, the Explorer is 100% battery powered. Optimized for efficient cruising, the Explorer provides the power for up to a thirty- three foot sailing vessel. The powerful 4kW sparkless drive provides a safe, clean alternative to messy fossil fuel usage in one convenient drop-in package. The SolidNav engineering team created an industry-first common cable mounting system to be utilized with existing controls and a flex bracket system to allow alignment in almost any existing engine compartment. The price is another feature that makes the Explorer attractive. $4,995 includes the engine and mounting system. At nearly half the price of its diesel competition, the Explorer is the first alterative energy product that reduces total upfront costs.
SolidNav Traveler
The Traveler has been designed for sailboats, pontoon boats and small watercraft. Weighing less than 60 pounds, the Traveler is the ideal engine solution for small watercraft motoring. With a long shaft and remote engine control, the Traveler makes docking enjoyable without the concern of lethal oil sheens and clouds of foul smelling fumes. With a low price of $2,499, you will never need to fill up with gas again.
