Dutch by birth, this barge now rests at London and is completely solar-powered, using a 1.7kw PV system and an electric motor. The energy generated off the sun alone is capable of powering up this entire floating home, if you know your living-green basics that is. Also, when unused for sailing purposes, the energy generated can be used to power up electric gadgets or to cook.
