Floating Photovoltaics (FPV) is a fast-emerging niche application of solar energy. On the face of it, these systems might seem simple to install as all one needs to do is place panels on water and […]
Ocean Sun, a Norwegian specialist in FPV projects, has inked a joint venture to exploit the untapped floating photovoltaic (FPV) potential of two southernmost countries in the EU. “Thanks to good solar irradiation and water […]
In 2019, Greece was one of the two leading EU countries for solar thermal installations. This method proved to be cost-effective, with a minimum of 60% of hot water share coming from this source. In […]
Ocean Sun, a Norwegian innovative FPV (Floating Photo-Voltaic) Tech organisation, and Fred Olsen Renewables have been awarded EC-funds, for a 0.25 MWp Floating PV project in “open seas”, off the coast of Gran Canaria. The […]
The World Bank estimated that there is a 400 GW global market capacity for floating photovoltaic (FPV) projects under conservative estimations, which is equivalent to the complete world cumulative solar capacity by 2017. This estimation […]
Africa is blessed with sunlight throughout the year with solar irradiance levels reaching over 2000 kWh/m2 In spite of this fact, 90% of electricity generation in countries including Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, and Zambia is […]
Cochin International Airport located in Kerela, India is the first fully solar-powered airport in the world which is powered by a 40 MW photovoltaic power station. Cochin Airport has now taken a new step towards […]
The Indian government aims at building the world’s largest floating photovoltaic (FPV) project in the Khandwa district. On completion of the project by 2022-2023, It would be named the largest FPV project in the world […]
Offshore floating solar panels are slowly reaching the ground-mounted panels in LCOE and in the north sea alone by 2050 it will house around 10 GW of offshore floating pv. According to Norwegian consultancy group […]
Norwegian floating PV specialist Ocean Sun and South Korean tech company EN Technologies have closed a deal on the pilot projects of a 2.1 GW floating solar complex. This project is going to be built […]
