Abstract

A pontoon comprises means for mooring the pontoon at an electrical vessel recharging site, a roofed enclosure containing one or more rechargeable batteries, one or more solar panels disposed on the roof of the enclosure operatively connected to the batteries for recharging them, and one or more electrical connectors suitable for transmitting power to a vessel for charging its battery, characterised in that multiple solar panels are employed to, act as tiles in at least one common plane angled to maximize the solar energy captured by the panels.
