For coastal areas and island nations with limited land resources for conventional solar power installations, the floating offshore solar and hydrogen business has the potential to offer a sustainable and renewable energy alternative. By giving ships that operate in coastal seas a clean fuel supply, it can also help the maritime sector decarbonize.
There are several more aspects of floating solar PV our speakers will be addressing, in addition to the offshore floating solar and hydrogen industries:
Floating solar PV for irrigation: Water pumps for irrigation in agriculture can be powered by floating solar PV. The surface of water bodies, such as ponds or lakes, can be used for floating solar PV to give an alternate solution for powering water pumps in locations where land is limited.
Water treatment using floating solar PV: Water treatment facilities can also be powered by floating solar PV. Floating solar PV can offer a sustainable and renewable energy source for powering water treatment plants in areas where clean water is hard to come by, allowing populations to have access to clean drinking water.
Mining with floating solar PV: Mine operations often demand a sizable quantity of electricity. Floating solar PV can offer a sustainable and renewable energy source for powering mining activities in places with limited land availability or sensitive environmental conditions.
Floating solar PV for recreation: Floating solar PV can also be used for recreational purposes, such as providing power for lighting, music, and other amenities in water parks, swimming pools, and other aquatic venues.
Floating solar PV for disaster relief: In the aftermath of natural disasters, floating solar PV can provide a reliable and resilient energy source for emergency response operations. By deploying floating solar PV on the surface of water bodies, power can be quickly and easily generated to support relief efforts.
Overall, floating solar PV offers a range of applications beyond the production of electricity. As the technology and infrastructure continue to develop, it is likely that we will see more innovative applications for floating solar PV in the future.
