Converted snipe with solar cells a good solution for Nicklas

"I think it would have suited that boat model very well"

Nicklas Eriksson has a snipe that he uses in the summer. He works as an energy and climate advisor in Stenungssund, Lilla Edet, Orust, Tjörn and Öckerö municipalities and is interested in energy issues.

- This is a very exciting area and the way I use my boat, I think it would suit me well to convert the snipe to electric power and, for example, combine it with solar cells, says Nicklas.

- I mostly go out to natural harbors and stay there 2-3 days. Then I could charge the boat and combine with solar cells so that you can go a little bit. I think it would have suited that boat model very well, it is a slow moving boat.

Converting recreational boats to electric power is an important part of the broader transition to sustainable energy sources. By reducing emissions, noise and maintenance costs, electric propulsion offers an attractive and sustainable solution for boat owners. With continued technological developments and investments in infrastructure, we can expect to see a rapid growth in the number of electric recreational boats on our waters in the near future.
