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.

    Our Surewave project is moving ahead in full speed. Now, halfway in the project, we are starting to see some really interesting results which will be both disseminated in research articles in the next 18 months, and exploited in product optimizations and improvements.

    Floating PV (FPV) is an emerging technology for renewable energy generation and these FPV infrastructures are continuously exposed to extreme wave loads in marine environments throughout their lifespan. Understanding the hydrodynamics of FPV systems is crucial for optimizing design and ensuring long-term reliability. State-of-the-art tools are necessary for designing these FPVs, but these tools must be validated with experimental test data. As part of the European Union-funded SUREWAVE project, project partner MARIN (Maritime Research Institute Netherlands) conducted 1:10 scale wave basin tests to study the hydrodynamic behaviour of FPV systems. Our focus was on understanding the performance of the flexible hinges that interconnect the PV panels. We are excited to share this valuable data with the research and industrial community to aid in designing robust FPV systems that will contribute to achieving the European Commission's renewable energy targets. The dataset, now available on Zenodo, includes comprehensive results from our tests, covering a 5 × 3 FPV matrix, both with and without an external floating breakwater (FBW). This dataset is an excellent resource for validating hydrodynamic models, especially for those working on FPV systems or related marine technologies. We encourage you to utilize this data to improve the accuracy of your simulations and contribute to the advancement of sustainable energy solutions. This journal publication describes the results: https://lnkd.in/dDkQCBhB The dataset can be found on Zenodo: https://lnkd.in/dDzqxMdP For more details you can contact: Joep van der Zanden from MARIN (Maritime Research Institute Netherlands)   #SUREWAVE #FPV #RenewableEnergy #Hydrodynamics #SustainableEnergy #ModelValidation #ResearchData #EUfunded

    I am excited to share our recent article published in Structures, co-authored with Aase Reyes. In this work, we study how sheet metal forming-induced effects influence the operational stresses in Sunlit Sea's floating photovoltaic structures, emphasizing aspects that influence fatigue. A big thanks goes to Rune Orderløkken and Paban Acharya for their highly valued contributions to the execution of the experimental tests!

    Electric boat charging is revolutionizing sustainable boating, especially with floating solar technology for off-grid solutions. Switching from fossil fuels to electric power is crucial for cutting the boating industry's carbon footprint. Electric boats powered by clean energy reduce CO2 emissions and protect waterways from pollutants. Small boats are ideal for electrification due to their energy needs. Agder Fylkeskommune is driving this shift through the “go:LEIF" project, building electric boat chargers along the Norwegian/Swedish coastline. Floating solar systems are perfect for off-grid charging, offering reliable, renewable energy in remote marinas. This technology lowers environmental impact, reduces costs, and creates a quieter boating experience. PS! Visit the Supercharge and Sunlit Sea stand on Tuesday at Arendalsuka to learn more!

    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
