This study aims to analyze the effect of speed on the use of electrical power on the solar-powered ship Solar Boat RE 15. This ship uses solar panels as the main energy source to drive the electric motor, which is controlled by a battery system and solar controller. In this study, measurements were taken at several speed points to study the impact of changes in speed on power consumption. The results showed that the higher the speed of the ship, the greater the electrical power required. This is due to the increased friction and water resistance that must be overcome at high speeds. The solar panels used have a capacity of 20 Wp, which is capable of producing 120 Wh of power per day under optimal weather conditions. However, at high speeds, higher power consumption causes the battery to drain quickly, thus affecting the operational duration of the ship. Based on the results of the analysis, it is recommended that the ship be operated at a speed of around 10 km/h to achieve a balance between power efficiency and operational duration. This study provides insight into optimizing the performance of solar-powered ships and their contribution to supporting sustainable maritime transportation.
