Solar and Batteries

Every Greenline (except the NEO Open) has solar panels and AC power onboard at all times as standard.
The new Greenline 45 Fly and the Greenline 48 Fly have an optional upgrade of additional solar panels on the T-top.

Hard Top and Coupe versions of the new NEO and 48 Coupe follow the same philosophy as the rest of the Greenline range, providing more than 1.2kWh (NEO) and 2.4kWh (48 Coupe) of solar power.

Solar Roof

Regardless of whether you choose E-Drive, H-Drive or a standard diesel drive, your Greenline can collect and store power from the sun. Highly efficient solar panels on the hard top produce plenty of electricity to power all the systems with 230v or120v AC, making living onboard as pleasant and convenient as possible.

The solar panels on the hardtop keep the batteries fully charged and provide additional energy for the boat’s H-Drive or E-Drive system.

6 Solar panels, with forced air cooling, deliver up to 1.8kWh of power in daylight conditions.

As a result, the solar panels are capable of supplying continuous power to onboard mains devices such as the refrigerator, air conditioning and entertainment systems, removing the need for a generator or shore power.

Benefits

Green energy production
Cost and emission-free sailing
No maintenance

Lithium batteries

Lithium batteries have been around for a while, powering your smartphones, laptop computers and other gadgets that make up a large part of our everyday lives. With the wider adoption of electric vehicles in recent years, technology has progressed. We are proud of the fact that since 2009, Greenline Yachts pioneered the use of Lithium Polymer batteries for heavy duty applications, including propulsion.

Greenline Yachts use the best lithium polymer battery technology available, with a 11.5kWh installed on the Greenline 33 and up to 40kWh on the Greenline 40,45,48 Fly and 48 Coupe.

Rated for thousands of charge cycles, these lithium polymer batteries outperform lead battery types by a factor of five to six.

Powerful, lightweight (seven times lighter than a conventional battery and just a third of the size) and maintenance free, these batteries are the ultimate for your hybrid boat with a life expectancy of over 10 years.

Benefits

No maintenance
Ease of use
More time spent out on the water, whether cruising or at anchor
Estimated 10 years life expectancy
Lightweight and compact

A weekend at anchor on a Greenline without running out of energy

230v ac power onboard all the time

Greenline Yachts offer a unique set of benefits that no other boat on the market can offer today. You will never find yourself opening a warm bottle of wine or having to serve your friends cocktails without ice.

Greenline Yachts offer 230V AC power onboard at all times even without being plugged in at the marina or running a generator. 230V AC is available as standard, even without the H-Drive option!

230V AC appliances continue operating without a generator

CONSUMPTION CONTROL SYSTEM

Complete control and monitoring of the batteries is possible via WiFi, using an app on your smartphone phone or tablet. You can check energy usage and also charging, whether that is by the engine alternator, solar panels or a generator.

Do the Math

We made some calculations* concerning how much power we consume during a typical summer’s day at anchor. The figures given below apply to a Greenline fitted with the standard battery pack, as we wanted to make sure that you and your family enjoyed the highest level of comfort, following the Greenline philosophy of spending time on the water without noise, vibration or diesel exhaust.

*All calculations done on a standard boat without H-Drive option.
