Singapore-based Canopy Power and Norway’s Ocean Sun have joined forces to bring next-generation floating solar to Australia!
At the heart of this collaboration is Ocean Sun’s patented circular floating PV system, with a 70m buoyancy ring and ultra-thin membrane that enables direct thermal contact with water—boosting energy yields by up to 10% compared to ground-mounted and pontoon-based systems.
Each ring provides 700 kWp, with scalable designs for larger installations. Integrated rainwater pumps add another layer of utility.
Canopy Power will lead system design and deployment in Australia, integrating floating PV with battery storage, rooftop, and ground-mounted solar—aimed at farms, energy producers, and hydrogen production sites.
A promising step toward solving land scarcity, accelerating the energy transition, and supporting climate resilience.
