ARK Solar Boat

ARK Solar Boat by Janne Leppänen


The ARK Solar Boat is a creation of Janne Leppänen, an industrial and graphic designer based in Finland. The boat was developed as part of Leppänen's graduation work from the Kuopio Academy of Design.


The idea behind the ARK (ARKKI in Finnish) Solar Boat was to devise a new form of watercraft which was environmentally responsible, luxurious and capable of acting as a spacious home. The boat was designed for around 10 years into the future, at a time when many of the cutting edge solar panel and electric technologies which are currently being researched are readily available and the cost isn't prohibitive. The ARK was designed to be used mainly on inland and coastal waters.
