Offshore solar farm

Oceans of Energy offshore solar farm system

The Oceans of Energy offshore solar farm system floats right on top of the water surface, like a waterlily. Some offshore engineers believed this to be vulnerable. However, the opposite appeared the truth. Our system has proven in real life to survive numerous very big storms in the harsh North Sea storm conditions for multiple years in a row, 12 kilometres off the coast of The Hague. Storms with more than 10 meters maximum waves and 120 km/hour wind speeds.  No other floating solar system in the world has such impressive track record. The Oceans of Energy Offshore Solar Farm System is based on the principle of a waterlily, nature’s floating solar collector. Its own weight is carried by the water surface, which allows scaling to large sizes without adding increasing materials for its own weight. It is the result of almost 10 years of development, including more than 4 years continuous operations at full sea.   In 2019 our system entered the North Sea where it has survived many years with severe winter storms, which allowed OOE to learn and improve the system.  To date, no other known system has operated for such a period in similar conditions. In 2025, our system was installed in the Hollandese Kust Noord offshore wind farm, which has been the first offshore solar farm integrated inside an offshore wind project.
