Ocean Sun is proud to announce a milestone for the company's patented
membrane-based floating solar system. It has been awarded the world's first Type
Certificate for a floating solar structure by Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore
(BV). This achievement sets a new benchmark for safety, reliability, and
bankability in marine renewables, and sends a powerful signal to developers,
investors and lenders. It marks the culmination of years of dedicated
engineering, collaboration, and innovation.

Type Certification is a wide-ranging third-party verification in the energy
sector. It demonstrates that a technology meets defined requirements for design
integrity, manufacturing quality, and operational reliability.

For Ocean Sun, the Type Certificate represents an independent validation of
years of engineering work and testing. It confirms that the company's floating
system is ready for safe, reliable, and large-scale deployment in benign,
nearshore, and offshore environments. The certificate covers Ocean Sun's full
design, including the double keder attachment system, the reinforced
hydro-elastic membrane, HDPE buoyancy ring, and mooring arrangements, but does
not include PV module certification. 

Ocean Sun has previously received a Statement of Conformity from DNV, which
verifies the design premise and performance of the system. The new Type
Certificate from BV goes further: it is a, technology-wide certification that
includes design review, manufacturing assessment, and type testing. This
distinction is critical for international project developers and financiers,
demonstrating that Ocean Sun's technology is not only proven in the field but
also independently certified for global deployment. 

"This certificate validates years of engineering and testing," says Kristian
Torvold, CEO of Ocean Sun. "It demonstrates that our floating solar platform
performs safely and reliably in challenging conditions, and it signals to
partners and investors that the platform structure is mature and bankable." 
 
Matthieu de Tugny, Executive Vice President, Industrials and Commodities at
Bureau Veritas, said, "BV is delighted to support Ocean Sun in advancing
floating solar technology. This achievement also reflects our commitment to
enabling safe, reliable, and innovative renewable solutions in the marine
environment. We look forward to the contribution this technology will make to
the global energy transition."
