After all, the open ocean provides the prevailing winds as a very sustainable power source. We have seen wind-powered cargo ships, and even a wave-powered boat. However, use of solar power for boats had not been explored much, let alone in speedboats. Until now. The Czeers Mk1 prototype is, according to their designers, the first ever solar powered speedboat. Based on the 2006 Nuon Frisian Solar Challenge winner, this marine speedster is making quite a splash. Video after the jump!1
