In contrast to freshwater floating PV, providers of seawater floating PV are confronted with harsh environments, where the widely known conventional systems will fail.” “While freshwater floating PV is being installed in more than 40 countries worldwide, seawater floating PV is a new market. In the article, SINN Power notes that the idea of floating solar arrays on freshwater bodies has taken off like a rocket in recent years, but is not so easily transferred to the ocean environment, which can be somewhat more hostile. ![]() The new hubub over SINN Power’s floating clean power contraption was probably sparked by an article posted on the company’s website earlier this week. However, looks can be deceiving, and perhaps this spring chicken is no shrinking violet after all. We’re calling it the Swiss Army Knife of clean power because it combines wind, solar, and wave energy all in one delicate-looking package.
