In our project, the boat is powered by Lead Acid/Lithium Ion batteries that can be charged at any time by the photovoltaic modules placed on a flat top structure with the help of battery management system or charge controller. The project is designed for brief trip around rivers and lakes, where the public transport becomes very polluting during summer. Starting from the consideration that this boat is employed during sunny weather, it's possible to understand the boat & 39; energy demand and proceed with the planning of a electric boat and of the energy storage/management system.. With this management, we have optimized the use and prolonged the time of life of the batteries during the navigation and the control of the rea l autonomy of it. In addition, batteries, we are putting one Wind mill(demonstration) over the boat at the front side. The boat will be controlled over wireless communication. Key Words: (solar, Arduino uno, LM298, Nodemcu) 1. INTRODUCTION The rapidly diminishing fossil fuel reserves are, today, one of the biggest challenges facing the planet. In order to secure the future for ourselves and generations to follow, it is widely accepted that we must act now to reduce energy consumption and substantially cut greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide. For many years, fuel has been the first source of energy. However, there's a limited supply of those fuels on Earth and that they are getting used far more rapidly than they're being created. Eventually, they will run out. In addition, due to safety concerns and waste disposal problems, renewable energy is certainly the answer since such technology is "clean" or "green" because they produce few if any, pollutants. The world trend nowadays is to seek out a clean source of energy. The most effective and harmless energy source is probably solar energy, which for many applications is so technically straight forward to use. In addition, due to safety concerns and waste disposal problems, renewable energy is certainly the answer . As the cheapest way of transportation , the maritime sector has great significance in the large scale implementation of renewable energy technologies. The paramount reduction of the pollutions caused by the fossil fuel powered vessels can be achieved by this. The spot of our consideration is Ashtami lake, from which endangered species like "syzygium travancocicum" is enlisted by IUCN. Thus the introduction of a solar powered boat gains more ecological importance. With annual average irradiation of 6kwh/m 2a so lar boat has great potential over this area.The development of a methodology of simple calculation, step by step, for solar boat is shown here, taking in account the use of clean energy. The major factors under consideration includes boat weight; sheet specification material utilized appropriate propulsion necessary quantity of solar panels; quantity of batteries; adequate engine until to the final commercial price. Students from the engineering area, as an important part of their education and training, enroll during their senior year in a design course as required by ABET (American Board of Engineering and Technology) The main goals of the senior design project are for the student to develop skills and abilities such as engineering problem solving, creative reasoning, innovation, inventive design, team work, multidisciplinary work, and self-learning, also as using computer software to assist within the design of innovative prototypes. Tecnolo´gico de Monterrey is the largest private university system in Mexico, it is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), and the engineering programs at Campus Monterrey are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. In our School of Engineering, the senior design course has consisted recently in developing diverse projects that include the building of prototypes that help students develop skills valued by the automotive, aeronautic, and naval industry. Among these prototypes we can mention: an off-road vehicle for the BAJA SAE Me´xico competition; a RV-10 aircraft was assembled using Active Learning and Reverse Engineering techniques as well as numerical tools to perform structural and aerodynamics analysis of the aircraft; and a ship powered with solar power to compete within the Solar Splash Event. This article presents the experiences and the work of engineering students from Tecnolo´gico de Monterrey (ITESM) during the past two years in developing the concept
