Offshore Solar Farms
\nOffshore Solar Plants
\n\n\n\nAlternative energy sources such as offshore wind farms are already taking advantage of all the space water has to offer. Solar energy is expected to rival offshore wind turbines as there are currently many projects developing floating solar panels.
\n\n\n\nThis doesn’t come as a surprise as offshore wind turbines already proved it was a good idea to use the sea as a planting area. Besides, we are residing on the “Blue Planet” where water occupies 71% of the planet’s surface. Since we don’t use all that area filled with water like we do use the land fields, it is the perfect place for renewable energy plants.
\n\n\n\nThere are many advantages of solar energy, but in many cases the capabilities of the panels are not being fully utilised. Panels need to take full advantage of sun rays during the day, but on many occasions this might be hard to accomplish. Therefore, prospects for offshore solar panels are huge.
\n\n\n\nOffshore solar panels show promise for renewable energy, but the cost of installation and space needed may be prohibitive for many. If you’re looking for a more economical option to reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint, consider installing solar panels on your home’s roof.
\n\n\n\nWith GreenMatch’s free quote service, you can compare up to 3 quotes from reliable installers to find the most cost-effective option. It all starts with clicking the button below.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIdeas and Concepts
\n\n\n![\"Offshore](\"https://cdn.greenmatch.co.uk/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto/2/2022/10/shutterstock_133119569_311x208.jpg\")
Many companies have come out with different concepts for floating solar plants. For instance, DNV (Global consultancy and certification firm) unveiled designs of such floating solar arrays that would directly rival offshore wind turbines. The project aimed to create artificial islands linked together, supporting more than 4,200 solar PV panels across a field with the size of a football pitch.
\n\n\n\nThe islands could generate electricity for more than 30,000 people. Even though the plan is achievable, the project is currently on hold as findings show that due to the many oil and gas offshore farms already existing, installing further energy farms could cause a lot of major incidents.
\n\n\n\nA Swiss company called Viteos is taking a different approach and are building much smaller artificial islands that are floating in areas where there are no other offshore energy farms. The company’s mission however, is to monitor the corrosive effects of water on the installation. The focus is more on R&D for future development of the technology rather than just pure energy generation.
\n\n\n\nHow Can Seawater Help Solar Panel Manufacturers?
\n\n\n\nSeawater could prove to be a “game changer” for solar panels manufacturers and the whole industry. Since one of the key components in photovoltaic panels is Cadmium Chloride, which is extremely toxic and expensive, it affects both the manufacturing process and the price of solar panels.
\n\n\n\nResearchers from the University of Liverpool, however found out that seawater contains Magnesium Chloride, which could replace the highly toxic and pricy Cadmium Chloride. The fact that it can be extracted from seawater also means that supply is in abundance.
\n\n\n\nThe price difference of the materials is more than significant. Cadmium Chloride costs around 300$ per kg and Magnesium Chloride on the other hand costs just 1$ per kg and is so safe that it is used for producing products such as bath salts and tofu.
\n\n\n\nIn terms of efficiency, the Liverpool research shows that Magnesium Chloride can have the exact same effect as its toxic substitute.
\n\n\n\nThus, replacing Cadmium Chloride with Magnesium Chloride would save the industry a massive amount of money and reduce risks of producing solar panels. This way, the natural solar energy can be generated by a product that relies heavily on a natural material itself. With prices going further down, panels will become available for a bigger portion of the population. You can find additional information about the research here.
\n\n\n\nWhat Does the Future Hold?
\n\n\n\nOnce again we have discovered a way to benefit from the sea. This time, the discovery can give the whole solar energy industry a significant boost. Offshore solar farms are yet to be fully utilised as there are many obstacles at the moment. With time however, they could prove to be more efficient, cheaper and of course eco-friendly than the current oil and gas offshore farms and thus replace them.
\n\n\n\nThe Liverpool research shows an alternative way of producing solar cells and it could lead to further findings that can help popularising solar panels, making the future of solar energy brighter. Ultimately the mission is to create a sustainable living conditions for us all.

海上太阳能发电场
海外太阳能发电厂
替代能源如海上风力发电场已经利用所有空间水。太阳能预计对手海上风力涡轮机作为目前有很多项目发展中浮动www188bet.com。
这并不奇怪,海上风力涡轮机已经证明了这是一个好主意使用海种植面积。此外,我们居住在“蓝色星球”,水占地球表面的71%。因为我们不使用所有这个领域像我们一样装满水的利用土地的字段,它是完美的地方可再生能源植物。
有很多太阳能的优点,但在许多情况下面板的功能并没有被充分利用。板需要白天充分利用太阳光,但在很多情况下,这可能是很难完成的。因此,离岸太阳能电池板前景是巨大的。www188bet.com188bet亚洲体育平台
海洋可再生能源的太188bet亚洲体育平台www188bet.com阳能电池板有成功的希望,但所需的安装成本和空间可能是禁止的。如果你正在寻找一个更经济的选择减少能源费用和碳足迹,考虑你家的屋顶上安装太阳能电池板。www188bet.com188bet亚洲体育平台
与GreenMatch免费的报价服务,你可以比较3引用从可靠的安装程序找到最具成本效益的选择。这一切都始于点击下面的按钮。
想法和概念
许多公司都推出不同的概念对漂浮的太阳能发电厂。例如,挪威船级社(全球咨询机构和认证公司)公布了这样漂浮的太阳能电池阵列的设计,将直接竞争对手海上风力涡轮机。该项目旨在创造人工岛屿联系在一起,支持超过4200人太阳能光伏板在一个领域有一个足球场的大小。
这些岛屿可以发电超过30000人。即使计划是可以实现的,该项目目前暂停调查结果显示,由于许多石油和天然气海外农场已经存在,安装更多的能源农场可能导致很多重大事件。
瑞士公司Viteos却采取了不同的方法和正在建设规模小得多的人工岛屿漂浮在没有其他地区近海能源农场。然而,公司的使命是监测水的腐蚀性影响安装。更关注研发技术的未来发展,而不仅仅是纯粹的能源。
海水如何帮助太阳能电池板制造商?
海水可能会被证明是一个“改变游戏规则”的太阳能电池板制造商和整个行业。www188bet.com188bet亚洲体育平台因为关键部件之一光伏面板是氯化镉,剧毒和昂贵的,它会影响制造过程和太阳能电池板的价格。www188bet.com188bet亚洲体育平台
然而,利物浦大学的研究人员发现海水含有氯化镁,这可能取代剧毒和昂贵的氯化镉。它可以从海水中提取也意味着供应是充足的。
材料的价格差异是重要的多。氯化镉成本约300美元每公斤和氯化镁另一方面成本1美元每公斤,非常安全,它用于生产产品,如浴盐和豆腐。
利物浦在效率方面,研究表明,氯化镁可以作为其有毒的替代品产生相同的影响。
因此,取代氯化镉与氯化镁行业将节省大量的资金和生产太阳能电池板的降低风险。www188bet.com188bet亚洲体育平台这种方式,自然可以生成太阳能产品严重依赖自然材料本身。价格会进一步下跌,面板将成为一个更大的可用部分的人口。你可以找到关于研究的附加信息在这里。
,未来将会是什么?
我们再次发现了一种从大海中获益。这一次,发现能给整个太阳能行业一个重要的推动作用。海上太阳能发电场尚未充分利用目前有很多障碍。随着时间的推移,然而,他们可以被证明是更有效的,更便宜的当然比当前海外石油和天然气环保农场,从而取代它们。
利物浦的研究显示了另一种方式生产太阳能电池,它可能导致进一步的发现可以帮助普及太阳能电池板,使www188bet.com188bet亚洲体育平台太阳能的未来光明。最终的任务是创建一个可持续的生活条件我们所有人。
