Floating Solar
Renewable Microgrids For Islands, Coastlines & Water Bodies
Discover the innovative Canopy Power x Ocean Sun floating solar system, engineered to generate renewable electricity, preserve water and power clean mobility, all on the same water surface.
From island electrification to water evaporation reduction and floating charging stations, business operating on or near water can reduce costs, overcome energy constraints and contribute to a greener future.
What is unique about the Canopy Power x Ocean Sun solution?
Remote islands, coastal industries and water-dependent businesses share the same challenges: land scarcity, high heat affecting solar panel performance, environmental impact and water scarcity.
To solve these challenges, Canopy Power has partnered with Ocean Sun, an innovative floating solar system provider, to offer a high performing, end-to-end floating solar solution that generates clean electricity, natively harvest rainwater, and thanks to direct thermal contact with water, delivers up to 10% higher yield than ground-mounted or pontoon based system.
Canopy Power has selected the Ocean Sun floating solar system as it is the most robust, cost effective, certified, high yield and warrantable solution on the market.
Floating Solar in Action
ISLAND ELECTRIFICATION
Generate reliable, clean power for island resorts, businesses and communities, cutting diesel dependencies, fuel cost and carbon emissions while freeing up scarce land
WATER PRESERVATION
Reduce evaporation, cub algae blooms and harvest rainwater while generating power on reservoirs, dams and lagoons, turning a water-scarcity challenge into a dual benefit solution
FLOATING CHARGING STATION
Power electric vessels and marine mobility directly from the water’s surface. In partnership with Candela, Canopy Power delivers a fossil-free “sun-to-sea” ecosystem, eliminating diesel noise, vibration and smell for a premium on-water experience.
Industries We Power
HOSPITALITY - ISLAND RESORTS : Diesel-free, low-noise power for a premium guest experience
WATER COMPANIES AND UTILITIES : Generate electricity and conserve water on the same reservoirs, dams and water bodies by reducing evaporation and algal bloom
DATA CENTER - NEAR SHORE/NEAR WATER : Reliable, scalable clean power for near-water facilities, supporting sustainability and energy reliance targets
OIL & GAS TERMINALS - NEAR SHORE : Generate clean and lower cost electricity while decarbonizing the operations without competing for onshore land
AGRICULTURE : Free up farmland by moving solar onto irrigation dams and reservoirs, while reducing evaporation losses
AQUACULTURE : Using the water surface to generate clean and affordable electricity for the operations
WATER TRANSPORT, WATER TAXI COMPANIES : Provide end-to end sustainable and clean water mobility solution for the best customer transport experience, by solar charging the electric vessels.
Benefits & Features:
Ocean Sun floating solar panels are at the core of our floating solar system. They have the following characteristics:
Ocean Sun’s patented technology
A buoyancy ring covered by a reinforced membrane, used to float customized PV modules
70m diameter ring
Capacity of 680 kWp
Surface of 3,848 m2 to harvest rainwater
Bilge pumps integrated to the ring
Multiple rings can be cascaded to generate the amount of energy needed
What output can you expect?
The solar energy generated and the rainwater collected varies based on the geographic location.
As an example, with one Ocean Sun 70m floating ring, the theoretical yearly electricity and water generation are 900 MWh of solar electricity per year and 8 million liters of water per year in Fiji.
In the Bahamas on the other hand, it would be 1,200 MWh of solar electricity per year and 4 million liter of water per year.
Our team of experts will give you clear indications of what you can expect from the system based on your location and environment.
