8kW off-grid project in Tanzania
The 8kW off-grid floating solar power plant in Tanzania was succesfully installed in collaboration with AquaBioTech Group , marking our first step in East Africa! This project is part of the EU-Horizon initiative, PrActiCe ( more information ). Our innovative solar system has been installed on two artificial ponds in Morogoro, creating a Living Lab that has already generated more than 700kWh of clean energy since July 5th. This small project is a significant milestone for us

Solar2Wave floating solar project
Solar2Wave pilot We are delighted to announce that the #Solar2Wave project was successful in securing funding from Energy Catalyst (an Innovate UK programme). The goal of the porject is to build Indonesia's first floating solar power plant on the ocean and to provide affordable and clean energy to replace diesel generators being used on Indonesian islands that are too distant to access their national grid. Energy Catalyst is an Innovate UK programme funded by the Foreign, Com

Wave Tank Testing
Our team achieved new milestone to the way of technology commercialization. Today we successfully completed wave tank testing at Ecole Central de Nantes with a great support from Marine Energy Alliance and BPI France . In this challenging time we could manage to build the full-sclale prototype and prove our “hydro-lock” ballasting feature. The idea of the “hydro-lock” feature is to keep water inside the floater to give additional mass and consequently additional stability w

Frozen floating solar power plant
News from our floating solar power plant: Temperature -18degC in Makhachkala city (Dagestan, #Russia ). Lake Ak-Gel is completely frozen. Solar panels from Солар Системс are generating electricity. Engineers EcoEnergy company are monitoring the situation. We will keep posted and give you updates once a lake will be unfrozen and mechanical properties of the HelioRec floating system can be inspected. P.S. People do not remember when this lake was frozen. It is a real anomaly

The first in the world unique hybrid for lake purification: floating PV and aeration system
On 13th of September was installed the first in the world unique hybrid for lake purification: floating PV and aeration system. Lake Ak-Gel is located in the centre of Makhachkala (Dagestan Republic, Russia) and it faces many serious ecological problems (Figure 1): Oxygen concentration is 3 times less than normal; Active algae growth; Water evaporation (area was reduced twice during the last 20 years).
