Reported bypv magazine ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Spain's first offshore floating solar platform, a 500 kW catamaran-style pilot unit named Paiporta, has been activated at the Port of Valencia as part of a 1 MW project to advance modular floating solar technology for future large-scale offshore deployment.
The pilot is in early testing phase; full viability for large-scale deployment remains to be demonstrated.
