Our solution
Inspired by nature, we provide the lowest cost and the best performing floating solar system available on the market
Operations and business development
Banja dam, Albania
Project update
The first of four floaters has been operational since 1st of April 2022 and shows good and stable production during these seven months . Ocean Sun has used the first floater to fine tune and further develop routines for operations and maintenance . In addition, the plant will be a showcase for the R&D community and potential customers .
Installation of the remaining three floaters is ongoing with estimated commissioning in December 2022 . When completed, the plant will be Ocean Sun's first multi -ring system and thereby confirm Ocean Sun's ability to provide utility -scale projects .
Project details
Ocean Sun and Statkraft have an agreement to construct a 2 MWp floating solar power plant on Statkraft's 72 -megawatt hydropower plant in Banja, Albania . The system consists of four floaters of 0 . 5MWp each and will produce energy to the Albanian national grid .
SPIC project, Shandong, China
Project update
The project in Shandong is the world's first commercial offshore FPV plant and the first ever FPV integrated with offshore wind . Owned by SPIC, and constructed by Sunneng Technologies, the system started commercial operations on the 31 of October after a two weeks construction period . The two floaters were constructed on -shore and towed 30 km off coast to its final position where the mooring was installed .
Once the test period is completed, the intention is to connect floating solar to other wind turbines at this location . Pending successful results, the accumulated capacity of Ocean Sun FPV will be 20 MWp in 2023 .
Project details
The system is owned by the world's largest PV asset owner, State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC), and consists of two floaters with a combined capacity of 0 . 5 MWp . It is located in the Yellow Sea, 30km of the coast of Hayiang in the Shandong province and connected to an offshore wind turbine coupled to the land -based grid . The Shandong Province has plans for 42 GWp of off -shore solar in the next few years .
Magat dam, Philipinnes
Project update
Celebrating three years in operation during June, the Magat pilot has recently undergone a larger technology upgrade with new PV panels and improved cable management . The system upgrade was a joint undertaking by Ocean Sun and system owner, SNAP and has resulted in significant improvement to the system . Total effect is increased from 223 kWp to 250 kWp and the performance is more stable .
Project details
The demonstration plant on the Magat Dam is located in the middle of the Philippine typhoon belt and designed to withstand wind -speeds up to 275 km/h . The system is owned by SN -Aboitiz Power (SNAP), a 50 /50 joint venture between Scatec and Aboitiz Power, a large IPP in the Philippines .
SNAP is following the performance of the system closely and views the pilot as a great success . SNAP's CEO, Joseph Yu, has previously announced the intention to expand the floating solar installation on the Magat Dam with 67 MWp 1 .
Upcoming projects
Sunseap, Sing. strait Singapore
In March 2022, Ocean Sun and Sunseap signed an agreement for a 1.2 MWp floating PV project to be deployed near shore in Singapore.
The detailed engineering and design of the two-float system has been completed. Orders for materials are expected to be placed during Q1 2023, with construction of the system taking place in Q2 2023.
When completed, the system will be the largest floating solar installation in the Singapore Strait and will pave way for utility-scale developments in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
Keppel, Jurong Island Singapore
In July 2022, Ocean Sun and Keppel signed an agreement for a 1.5 MWp floating PV project to be deployed near Jurong Island in Singapore.
The project is funded by a government grant and was selected because of its potential for commercialization and scalability. Keppel, a powerhouse within construction and energy developments, has ambitious plans for floating solar in Singapore and SEA. The project is expected to be completed in Q4 2023.
Sunneng, Yantai China
Ocean Sun has signed an agreement with Sunneng Technologies and String Capital, a Beijing-based energy investment fund, for the construction of a 1 MWp near-shore demonstration unit outside Yantai in Shandong Province.
Orders for long lead items have been placed and after finishing construction of the SPIC funded project, Sunneng will refocus on the Yantai project with estimated start of construction in Q1 2023.
MP Quantum, Nearshore Greece
In 2021, MP Quantum Group (MP) and Ocean Sun signed a long-term collaboration agreement for floating solar in Greece and the Republic of Cyprus.
During 2022, work has intensified around two demonstration facilities, for which license fees have been paid. Permits, off-take agreements and construction plans are being finalized by MP, while Ocean Sun has prepared the detailed engineering and design of the facilities. In addition, MP is working on a legal framework to simplify the permit application process for future utility-scale installations.
Market update
Market update
Southeast Asia (SEA)
- With a 2030 goal of 2 GWp installed solar and two upcoming Ocean Sun projects, Singapore is confirming its position as a key market for Ocean Sun in the region. The announced projects have sparked attention around Ocean Sun in Singapore, and SEA as a whole.
- In the Philippines, 20 lots of 100 hectares each, which together can accommodate >2 GWp, has been awarded for floating solar developments on Laguna di Bay outside Manila.
-
Large parts of SEA are exposed for typhoons which has proven challenging for alternative technologies. The Magat facility's increasing track record gives credibility to OS and comfort around our solution.
-
Statkraft installation gains international attention and works well as a reference and demonstration facility and confirms Ocean Sun's ability to provide utility-scale projects.
- Several European energy and O&G giants are also showing interest in Ocean Sun for FPV in combination with larger offshore wind parks and FPSO installations.
- Upcoming tenders and increased demand for feasibility studies in Europe and the Middle East is positive for projects.
Americas
- Ocean Sun's collaboration with a local partner in Brazil progress well and together we have targeted several smaller utility projects, 5- 20MWp as well as larger utility projects +50MWp for development during 2023
- Discussions being held with several large Norwegian companies for renewable developments in Brazil.
- US solar market, including floating solar, has lagged Europe and parts of Asia. However, with new political initiatives, Ocean Sun is noticing a positive shift in focus and increased interest in our solution.
EMA Northeast Asia (NEA)
- Led by China, NEA has been and will likely continue to be the largest market for floating solar.
- In China, market is shifting towards off-and nearshore deployments which sets Ocean Sun in a favorable position as our solution is more robust and has been tested in such waters.
- Shandong province announced plan of 40 GWp near and offshore FPV in years to come.
- Completion of SPIC project leads to strong interest in OS technology.
