This is just awesome. Really needed some good news today
Why building solar farm offshore?
I understand why wind farms are built that way, but solar?
The cool water can improve solar panel efficiency. Hotter panels produce less energy.
Makes sense. But does it really negate the elevated construction costs? I must assume such a station is significantly more expensive to build
Not only construction, but also maintenance costs. I imagine they are harder to access, if needed, and salt water is hostile to any structure
Lots of flat space maybe. Or they are just claiming the territorial water that way. Idk.
Outa sight
