Riviera unveils a new era of silent, reduced generator cruising with Praxis integrated solar technology for yachts

At a glance

Riviera has announced the integration of Praxis Solar’s nano-composite technology across its luxury motor yacht range, marking a significant advancement in onboard energy management for the marine industry.

Unlike conventional rigid solar panels, the Praxis integrated solar technology for yachts is a 2mm nano-composite solar layer bonded directly onto the yacht’s hardtop during construction.  This integrated approach delivers approximately 120% more power output from roughly 90% additional surface coverage compared to traditional marine solar installations, while weighing 85% less.

Early deployments have demonstrated strong results in real-world conditions, including a Riviera 72 achieving up to three days off-grid without generator use.
