Description

Solar AquaRanger (SAR) is a floating device developed for waste collection, water surface maintenance and biomass management. It combines an environmentally friendly approach with modern technology, offering a solution for maintaining clean and sustainable aquatic environments. The device is remotely controlled using a joystick, enabling precise manoeuvring across the water surface.

Economic benefits

The remotely operated device can improve the efficiency of floating waste collection and water surface maintenance. The use of an electric drive with solar charging can reduce the need to purchase fuel compared with alternatives powered by internal combustion engines. The economic benefits depend on the intensity of use, operating and maintenance costs, and comparison with the existing methods of cleaning the water surface.

Environmental benefits

The device enables the collection of floating waste from water bodies, potentially helping to limit its accumulation and reduce the risk of negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems. Solar charging and electric propulsion can reduce the need for fossil fuels during operation compared with some devices powered by internal combustion engines. However, the actual environmental benefits depend on how the device is used, the energy mix used for charging, and the management of the collected waste.

Examples of implementation of the solution in practice

The device was tested at the Ružín Reservoir, where waste collection using the aquatic drone was simulated.
