When it comes to solar-powered boats, the primary focus is often on harnessing the power of the sun to reduce reliance on traditional fuel sources.

This is where Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) systems come in, and they’re becoming a key feature in enhancing comfort and sustainability on solar-powered boats.
