Our production team has already finished 10 out of 14 strings of floating solar panels for the Haugaland Næringspark installation of 105 kWp. At site, cables and inverter have been installed, batteries deployed, and the EV charging station is on its way. Really looking forward to kicking this off after the summer! #floatingsolar
Om oss
Sunlit Sea develops a new type of technology for floating solar power installations. The solution is based on prefabrication of serially connected solar panels who's back plates are intrinsically robust and heat conductive aluminum floats, facilitated for and integrated with a new and effective solution for logistics. Floats are arranged in a tightly packed matrix of water-cooled floating panels, permitting a much more efficient production than the competition. The solution has very good hydrodynamic and aerodynamic properties and can well handle rough sea. The combination of a solid floater and cooling results in lower degradation of the panels and lower operation and maintenance costs along with better health and safety conditions. The technology opens a whole new market for solar power on the ocean.

Considering an electric boat for your summer cabin? Why not combine it with our very price competitive floating solar panels together with a battery powered charging station from Supercharge Last weekend at the Lydløs festival in Arendal, Norway, our valued partner Supercharge presented our floating solar system along with their own electric boat charger and battery solution, which, not unexpectedly, caught some attention. Get in touch with us if you would like advice about a potential installation, small or large!

The Surewave project is a European-funded initiative led by SINTEF. The project involves partners from four countries: Norway, Germany, Netherlands and Spain. The project aims to design innovative floating solar farms. The goal is to deploy these solar farms in open sea environments with extreme conditions. One of the main ideas is to use a barrier, specifically a large concrete block, in front of the solar modules. This barrier is intended to protect the solar modules by dampening a portion of the wave energy that would otherwise directly impact them.

We have had the pleasure of working with Sigbjørn Tveit and Aase Reyes on our work within aluminum forming. The article they present at ESAFORM 2024 is a recommended read for anyone in metal shaping. At Sunlit Sea we’ve expanded on the concept of looking for correlations in the forming process in our own RnD work, enabling us to create deeper shapes with thinner metal with better structural integrity. This is of course very important to us, as the less of the relatively expensive aluminum we use, the better LCOE we can create for our customers. Looking forward to disseminating more of this exciting research in the future. #floatingsolar #aluminum
Our two papers for ESAFORM 2024 are published in Materials Research Proceedings: 1. “Parametric failure limit detection for the sheet metal forming of a floating photovoltaic (FPV) aluminum alloy structure”, co-authored with my supervisors Aase Reyes and Emrah Erduran, presents an approach to identify the pareto fronts of process parameters in numerical sheet metal forming simulations. As a continuation of the work by graduated master student Jon Jibrail, these are the early steps of generating a high-quality data set for the training of an ANN for formability classification, in collaboration with Sunlit Sea. https://lnkd.in/dWwn8G8E 2. “Formability analyses of AA6016-T4 aluminum alloy sheets subjected to roping”, co-authored with Aase Reyes, is based on the work of my own master’s thesis. As a simple engineering approach, effects of roping on the forming limits are modeled by introducing sheet thickness variations according to the distribution of effective plastic strains observed from experiments by Dmitry Vysochinskiy. https://lnkd.in/dsv54e_F

Last week, on April 25th, 2024, CINEA (https://lnkd.in/dA5XtiqM) hosted an insightful workshop titled "Solar PV Energy Projects Clustering Event," which brought together 15 projects focusing on various aspects of Solar PV. The workshop served as a platform for 15 of CINEA’s H2020 and Horizon Europe Projects, along with policymakers, to discuss PV integration and operational aspects, including BIPV, VIPV, Agro-PV, floating PV, and the performance & reliability of PV plants. This event provided a great opportunity for face-to-face discussions on the challenges and opportunities within the Solar PV sector, aimed at achieving climate neutrality. The workshop featured poster presentations of all the projects and also group discussions on three key topics: - Competitiveness - Digitalization and operability - Sustainability and circularity I had the privilege of representing the HEU-funded #SUREWAVE project (https://surewave.eu/), which focuses on floating PV. During the workshop, I engaged in detailed discussions with other floating PV projects such as NATURSEA-PV and BAMBOO. We agreed to collaborate on the advancement of floating PV for offshore environments. I would like to extend my gratitude to CINEA for organizing such an enriching and informative workshop. #FloatingPV #SUREWAVE #CINEA

Refining floating solar and wavebreaker system design The SureWave project has recently completed the development of a global system design for floating solar systems, featuring integrated wavebreakers. This design is adaptable, intended to accommodate a wide array of project sizes and specifically tailored to meet the diverse local sea conditions and size requirements at different sites, including variations in wave heights, periods, and directions. Our methodology highlights the design’s potential for customization, ensuring it can be adjusted to fit the environmental conditions and spatial needs of various locations. To illustrate this adaptability, we present configurations of 0.4 MW and 7 MW as instances of how our solutions can be modified, showcasing the design’s flexibility and configurability. This update underscores our efforts towards providing scalable and bespoke solutions in the renewable energy domain, addressing a variety of project demands across maritime settings. #FloatingSolar #RenewableEnergy #AdaptableDesign #MarineEnergy

We are super excited to be a part of the Surewave EU-project, which is beginning to show very promising results with a wakebreaker which is both commercially viable and #sustainable. This represents a huge opportunity towards nearshore and offshore floating solar which could greatly increase the selection of possible installation locations.
Exciting developments in SUREWAVE, a project that's promising to deliver circular floating wavebreakers for floating solar. Imagine a floating breakwater, a simple yet innovative solution, very well suited to protecting other floating structures such as floating solar installations. Through the EU-funded SUREWAVE project, project partner ACCIONA and others have driven extensive research towards an optimal wave breaker for shielding FPV installations from harsh marine conditions, offering a more resilient approach to energy production. What sets SUREWAVE apart is the careful consideration given to concrete formulations. Lightweight Aggregate Concrete (LWAC) and High-Performance Concrete (HPC) is currently being explored, seeking an optimal composition in order to increase circularity and reduce the CO2 footprint - all while ensuring the structural reliability of the wavebreaker. Addressing concerns about the cement industry's impact on CO2 emissions, SUREWAVE takes a practical approach by minimizing cement content. This involves the use of low-carbon cement paired with Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) like ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) and fly ash (FA). It's a step towards meeting the rising demand for sustainable solutions without overstating the case. But the real excitement lies in SUREWAVE's commitment to a circular model. Leveraging non-primary available resources, recycled materials such as aggregate from concrete waste and lightweight aggregate from recycled glass breathe new life into concrete mix designs. It's not revolutionary; it's a pragmatic move towards environmental responsibility. #innovation #technology #sustainability #concrete #floatingsolar
