On Germany's Bath Island, the Steinhude Sea Recreation Facility supplies all of its power needs. Energy self-sufficiency is achieved with photovoltaic panels, solar hot
water collectors, a seed-oil-fueled cogeneration microturbine,
daylighting, natural ventilation, passive solar design, building
automation, and high-performance materials. These systems provide
complete lighting and power needs for the building, as well as enough
energy to recharge a fleet of eight photovoltaic-powered rental boats,
with excess electricity to sell back to the utility grid. This recreation center also employs graywater reuse and rainwater harvest systems that supply public and staff toilets. http://www.solaripedia.com/13/319/Steinhude+Rents+Solar-Powered+Boats.html
