Abstract
The article discusses the use of solar batteries as an alternative source of energy in marine power plants, as effective replacement of conventional sails with "solar sails" with semiconductor elements. There have been identified main advantages and disadvantages of three main types of solar batteries: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and amorphic. There has been given the characteristics of the actual value of the factual insolation (irradiation of the surface by a parallel beam of light coming from the direction where the center of the solar disk is visible at a given time) in calculating hybrid solar energy systems, which, if the criteria are clearly defined, can significantly increase the efficiency of their use. The analysis of the application of solar batteries on sea vessels is carried out, taking into account the geographic component and the number of light days. The article also determines the possibility of using solar batteries for various types of sea transport (cargo and passenger ships, yachts, ferries and others).
