Our Difference

When compared to floating SPP systems placed on competing pontoons, Oceansun’s solution is more advantageous.

Advantages;

• Lower price
• High efficiency: The membrane cools water as it comes into touch with it, making it effective
• Simple and quick installation
• Risk of breaking and breaking of the pontoons, as well as the panels’ ability to sail in high-speed winds, make the sea surface more favorable
• Simple logistics and transportation

Why is the Ocean Sun remedy less expensive?

Buoyant

• Less plastic is needed to provide the necessary buoyancy.
• Commodity goods are widely accessible.

Anchorage

• The system is derived from maritime experience (aquaculture).
• Circular design disperses forces; there is no weak link.
• Thin floats with minimal wind resistance.
• Cheaper and effortless mooring as a result.
• Does not have similar effects with lubrication on the water surface.

Other components

• Panel, inverter, etc. prices are the same as those of other technology suppliers.

More Efficient

Ocean Sun’s efficiency is explained by two general assumptions:

PV module efficiency decreases with higher temperatures (0.4% / °C).

• Water is a better conductor of heat than air.

The image on the right shows the IR images and images of the modules in Singapore. The panels are lifted approximately 5 cm from the membrane and cooled with air. The modules on the right rest on the membrane and are cooled by water

• Air-cooled: 63 ◦C
• Water cooled: 35 °C
• Water temperature: 33 °C

Enhanced cooling effect documented by IFE and DNV

Waves and Currents

• The system has been tested in the SINTEF ocean basin laboratory.
• The circular design disperses forces.
• The flexible surface membrane has a softening effect on the waves.
• Minimum drag on the sea current
• No weak joints are at risk of mechanical fatigue.

Wind

• Minimal wind resistance due to mounting in water.
• Tested and approved for a Class 4 typhoon wind speed of 275 km/h.
• Lowest risk of the system breaking into pieces.

Barges

When using 465 W panels, pontoons equal to 41 or 67 kWp can fit in one container.

Ocean Sun buoyant

• Two membranes for two large floats that fit in a 40-foot container
• Using the same 465 W panels, a container can carry 1.2 MW.
