Why Solar Marinas
Solar Marina Infrastructure - Clean Energy for the Blue Economy
Island resorts and marine operators face some of the highest energy costs in Mauritius. A solar marina system reduces operating costs, eliminates diesel dependency, and positions your facility as a leader in sustainable tourism -increasingly important for international guests and investors.
Mauritius is an island nation and its relationship with the sea defines everything. From the fishing villages of the east coast to the luxury marina developments of the north and west, maritime infrastructure is at the heart of Mauritian life, tourism, and commerce.
Obluxe is developing a programme of solar marina projects across Mauritius – transforming jetties, boat landing facilities, marina infrastructure, and waterfront developments into clean energy generators that power electric vessel charging, marina amenities, and coastal facilities.
Our solar marina programme combines PLATIO solar pavers, AmeriSolar photovoltaic panels, Hoymiles battery storage, and Electrine electric marine propulsion systems delivering fully integrated sustainable marina infrastructure from a single trusted partner.
.
Obluxe designs and develops solar-powered marina infrastructure for island resorts, marine operators, and coastal developers. From shore power systems to full BOT energy projects, we bring renewable energy to the water’s edge.
What We Offer
Solar marina feasibility studies and financial modelling
BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) solar project development
Shore power systems for electric and hybrid vessels
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) for marina operations
EV charging points for electric boats and water taxis
Solar deck installations on jetties and pontoons
Using pilling techniques, with gliding guides to secure the floating pontoons, our floating pontoons ensures minimal impact on the marine environment, reduces sediment displacement and allows adequate flow of water and marine line under and around the structures. Our pontoons are fitted wit hour PLATIO Solar Decks which replaces the conventional WPC or wooden decks, maximising the space to generate solar energy allowing for circular energy and charging of electric boats and electric engines.
THE FUTURE OF MARITIME INFRASTRUCTURE
The transition to electric marine transport is accelerating globally and Mauritius is uniquely positioned to lead this transition in the Indian Ocean region. Solar-powered marina infrastructure creates the charging ecosystem that electric vessels need -while generating clean energy from jetty surfaces, canopies, and waterfront areas that would otherwise be unproductive.
Solar Jetty Infrastructure
PLATIO solar pavers and solar decks integrated into jetty surfaces and canopies generating clean energy from maritime infrastructure that already exists
Electric Vessels Charging
Solar-powered electric vessel charging stations for marina berths and boat landing facilities supporting the transition to zero-emission maritime transport in Mauritius
Marina Amenity Power
Clean energy powering marina offices, lighting, security systems, and waterfront amenities - eliminating grid energy costs from marina operations
Battery Storage Integration
Hoymiles LFP battery storage systems ensure continuous power supply for critical marina infrastructure day and night, regardless of solar generation conditions
Electric Fleet Conversion
Obluxe partners with marina operators to convert existing vessel fleets to Electrine electric propulsion reducing fuel costs and eliminating emissions from marina operations
Tourism Enhancement
Solar marina infrastructure enhances the visitor experience silent electric vessels, clean waterfront amenities, and sustainable operations that premium tourists increasingly demand
Blue Economy Leadership
Solar marina projects position Mauritius as a regional leader in blue economy development attracting sustainable maritime investment and international recognition
CEB Grid connection
Excess solar generation exported to the CEB grid under the SSDG framework creating an additional revenue stream for marina operators and waterfront developers
Turnkey Delivery
Obluxe delivers the complete solar marina package from feasibility and financial modelling through design, permitting, installation, commissioning, and after-sales support
