The solar boat, named "MS T?ranor PlanetSolar", measures 31x100x50 feet (approximately 9x30x15 meters), weighs nearly 100 tons, and is a white catamaran. It has more than 5500 square feet (approximately 512 square meters) of installed solar panels, with a top speed of around 15 knots, equivalent to 15 miles per hour (approximately 24 kilometers per hour).
