Japanese technology company Eco Marine Power (EMP) has signed a deal with solar cell producer F-WAVE to develop solar power systems for ships.
The two firms are cooperating to develop what they call Ship Integrated Photovoltaic Systems, EMP said in a statement on its website on Monday.
EMP will seek to incorporate F-WAVE's solar cells within its Aquarius marine solar power product.
"We look forward to incorporating the patented F-WAVE solar cell technology into the solutions we have developed for shipping & maritime applications and also exploring new ways of integrating photovoltaics into the design and structure of ships," Greg Atkinson, chief technology officer at EMP, said in the statement.
