In late 2020, PR Nautica enhanced the Princess F55 with innovative electrical upgrades, including 7 solar panels, an 8kW inverter, battery upgrades, and a Webasto heating system.

The solar panels provided a sustainable energy source, reducing environmental impact while ensuring efficient power generation. Paired with an 8kW inverter, the yacht gained a seamless AC power supply for onboard systems. Battery upgrades improved storage capacity, allowing for extended self-sufficiency.
