SeaZen industrializes the production of its solar boats in Kit Solar navigation is a niche market in France and around the world. The demand is there, and the business model has been proven. But there were no manufacturers positioned in this market. SeaZen has developed a kit solution. This innovative construction method, certified by the Pôle Mer Méditerranée (Mediterranean Sea Cluster), enables modules to be manufactured in industrial facilities, with a view to final assembly of the vessel in a simple workshop. Each module is manufactured in France, speeding up the construction process and optimizing finishing efficiency. The Kit is particularly well suited to this solar-powered catamaran. Only 18 screws are needed to securely join the 2 hulls to the deck structure. To design this Kit, we had to start from scratch, while capitalizing on 8 years of experimentation with…

But production in a shipyard, by the unit, generates significant costs. Quality is not well mastered when production is too small-scale. To improve quality and contain costs, the…

There is no more beautiful setting than nature to sublimate solar navigation.
