Sunreef Yachts is proud to announce that the shipyard has won the German Design Award 2022. This prestigious recognition was granted to the company’s in-house engineered solar power system in the category Excellent Product Design: Eco Design.
The German Design Awards are among the most respected design competitions in the world. Organised by the German Design Council, they honour pioneering achievements that shape the future of design. Each year, an international jury of experts evaluates entries across multiple categories, celebrating innovations that combine functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability.
The award-winning solar power system from Sunreef Yachts is the result of years of research and development carried out entirely within the shipyard. The high-performance solar panels are fully designed and manufactured in-house, ensuring complete control over quality and integration. This patent-pending technology allows the solar panels to be seamlessly embedded within the structural components of the yacht. Unlike conventional systems, these panels can be mounted across virtually any surface, including the hulls, superstructure, bimini, and mast, significantly increasing the available solar energy collection area.
With a thickness of less than 1 millimetre and a weight of approximately 1.8 kilograms per square metre, Sunreef Yachts’ solar panels are among the lightest marine solar power solutions in the world. Despite their minimal weight and profile, they deliver remarkable durability and efficiency, enabling extended periods of silent, emission-free cruising.
Winning the German Design Award 2022 reinforces Sunreef Yachts’ position as a leader in sustainable luxury yachting. It highlights the brand’s ability to merge advanced eco-friendly technology with timeless elegance and craftsmanship. This achievement reflects the shipyard’s ongoing mission to create innovative solutions that respect the environment while delivering an unmatched experience at sea.
