THE SOLARFINN PLATFORM
Built to Extend What's Possible on the Water
SolarFinn™ brings solar collection, positioning technology,
integrated camera support and purpose-built marine features
together in one patent-pending electric propulsion platform.
DESIGNED FOR ANGLERS
Engineered Around the Way You Fish
Solar Collection
Integrated deck-mounted and cylindrical solar components
provide additional onboard energy collection.
GPS Position Hold
Designed to support precise boat positioning while anglers
concentrate on fishing.
Camera Integration
Integrated camera support provides a dedicated position for
capturing activity from the trolling-motor platform.
Compass
An integrated analog compass provides immediate directional
reference at the motor head.
Four-Fin Propulsion
A distinctive four-fin propeller configuration forms part
of the SolarFinn propulsion design.
Protective Prop Guard
A surrounding guard is incorporated around the propeller
assembly for added protection.

ENERGY ARCHITECTURE
Designed to Supplement Stored Battery Energy
SolarFinn is designed around an integrated energy approach.
Solar collection and proprietary energy technology are intended
to supplement stored battery capacity under appropriate operating
conditions.
Proprietary internal architecture, component locations and
implementation details are reserved for qualified commercial
partners under appropriate confidentiality.
ENGINEERING FRAMEWORK
The Energy Math Behind the Concept
SolarFinn can be evaluated using established electrical-energy
and hydrodynamic relationships. Final performance is determined
through engineering validation and prototype testing.
P = V × I
Electrical power equals voltage multiplied by current.
Wh = V × Ah
Battery energy capacity expressed in watt-hours.
Runtime ≈ Usable Wh ÷ Net Watts
A simplified framework for estimating operating time.
Pnet = Pmotor − Psupplemental
Supplemental energy can reduce the net demand placed on
stored battery capacity.
HYDRODYNAMIC DESIGN
Designed With Water Resistance in Mind
Fd = ½ρCdAv²
Hydrodynamic drag depends on water density, drag coefficient,
projected area and velocity.
Pdrag = Fd × v
The power associated with drag increases as speed and
resistance increase.
Drag, efficiency, supplemental-energy contribution and overall
system performance require prototype testing and engineering
validation. No specific performance value is represented here
as a tested result.
PRODUCT VISION
One Integrated Marine Platform
SolarFinn is being developed as a unified trolling-motor platform
where energy collection, propulsion and angler-focused technology
work together as one system.
