The world's largest PV asset owner, State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC),
has commissioned the world's first commercial offshore floating photovoltaic
(FPV) power plant. The power plant, which is designed by Ocean Sun and utilizes
Ocean Sun's patented technology is also the first FPV integrated with offshore
wind. Thus its successful implementation unlocks the potential of hybrid
offshore powerplants greatly increasing efficiency and reducing LCOE.
"This is a true milestone for Ocean Sun, and for the floating solar industry.
The successful project funded by SPIC and constructed using the Ocean Sun
solution shows how the common goal of reducing greenhouse CO2 emissions will be
achieved with development across borders. We are excited to continue working
closely with SPIC through the Ocean Sun team based in China." - Says Dr. Børge
Bjørneklett, CEO and founder of Ocean Sun.
The two floaters, with installed capacity of 0.5 MWp, are connected to the
transformer on a SPIC-owned wind turbine and then connected to the power grid
through the submarine cable of the wind farm. After completion of the pilot
period and full technical and economic demonstration, it is planned to promote
the use of Ocean Sun's technology to build a floating wind-solar photovoltaic
project with a total capacity of 20MW in 2023.
