James,
> that sure is a hard working 8kw motor!
FYI, there are 2 x 8 kw motors
Speculation on the solar array:
28 panels of 215 watts each = 6020 watts
The Horizon SC46 is very similar to the SolarWave:
http://www.solarwave.at
Top speed: 9 knots
Non-stop cruising speed: 4 knots
Day-time cruising speed: 7 knots
Solar panels: 8 kW (Kioto) + 2,3 kW (Day4Systems) = 10.3 kW
So this is basically the same capacity as Sun21 (10 kW)
SolarWave is using 2 x 10kW Aquawatt motors for the main propulsion, and 2 x 4 kW Cruise 4.0R Torqeedo as backup. Cool!
Even if the boat is 100% solar, like Turanor, they also have an emergency generator on board for safety reasons. The generator is sealed during the voyage.
Bye!
Pierre
