The renewable energy generated will be used to power Open Street Corporation's state-of-the-art electric mobility vehicles and to power and navigate an electric boat.
Oceans of Energy's Offshore Solar basis of design achieves a significant milestone as recipient of a Statement of Conformity for rough environmental conditions, like in the North Sea.
The design results were compared to the vessel and port consumption demand to determine that a combination of PV-generated and grid supplied shore power could be cost effective compared to traditional onboard generators.
This is the first time such an approval has been granted to an offshore floating solar technology, marking the beginning of a new era for this form of renewable energy.
