SolarDuck's floating offshore solar plant, Merganser, is nearing completion at the TMA Logistics in Velzen-Noord. The plant has an installed capacity of 520 kWp and includes six interconnected triangular platforms, assembled to withstand the severe storm conditions of the North Sea. It will move to the offshore test site North Sea Farmers, where the design will be tested for a period of 2-3 years. Bureau Veritas Group has awarded the world's first prototype certification for SolarDuck's floating offshore solar technology, used in the Merganser pilot, marking significant progress in marine renewable energy for offshore applications. The realization of this project has been true teamwork, hence we celebrated this with a gathering in the sun bringing together (project) partners, investors, colleagues and other friends and family. Thanks for your contributions to the project RWE, TNO, Deltares, Delft University of Technology, MARIN (Maritime Research Institute Netherlands), Norsk Hydro, DMEC (Dutch Marine Energy Centre), WDH Cylinders, Dutch wind support, Invest-NL, Green Tower, Katapult Ocean, Link Venture Capital , Impulse and many others. Also thanks to Sjeff. for the drinks, bites and the amazing setup! 😉 The next phase of the journey is its installation on the North Sea, which will happen shortly. In other places in the world we are also progressing with projects. We will be sharing news shortly. We will keep you posted!
Thanx! We aim to please!
A big guy in size, though capacity is not big 😀 Looking forward to seeing his growing in the near future.
Prachtige milestone Don en Koen, gefeliciteerd! Op naar een succesvol testprogramma.
