The world's largest SOLAR boat powered by 809 panels: Eco-friendly vessel breaks world record after crossing Atlantic in just 22 days - and it's completely silent | Mail Online: "The world’s largest solar boat is making London its final port of call on an epic voyage of scientific discovery along the Gulf stream.

Here, the boat has 'closed' its solar panels allowing it to dock more easily

The MS Tûranor PlanetSolar has 512 square metres of photovoltaic cells made of up 809 solar panels or 29,124 solar cells. The eco-friendly boat is capable of crossing the Atlantic ocean in 22 days, smashing the previous Guinness World record of 26 days thanks to its clever design."
