Ocean Sun
Floating solar system enabling affordable clean energy
01.
Identification
Solar energy is known as one of the most sustainable renewable energy source around the world
One of the limiting factors to deploy widely solar power plants is the lack of suitable land area. Floating solar is a relatively new technology. Ocean Suns has developed a novel solution to floating solar based on rigid solar modules mounted on hydro-elastic membranes. Designed for minimal use of materials, the solution is efficient at a lower cost. The lean floater design reduces wind drag and the hydro-elastic properties provide excellent seaworthiness. Extensive use of recyclable polymer materials reduces problems with corrosion and fatigue. Consequently, the Ocean Sun solution enables floating solar to a larger geographical area. It is not limited to rivers, lakes and reservoirs, but also nearshore and offshore deployment. The resulting cost of energy is lowered to an unprecedented level

Company Profile
Ocean Sun
Ocean Sun introduces a novel, efficient, cost-effective and durable solution for floating solar energy generation, designed to be installed in any type of water body, including offshore since the system can withstand harsh ocean and weather conditions. This novel patented technology is composed of modified silicon PV solar modules deployed on a special floating membrane structure. The hydro-elastic property of the thin polymer support floating membrane prevents breaking of waves and salt water intrusion, similar to the effect of oil on troubled water.
