So we created this hybrid concept. so we combine solar and hydropower on the same powerline, sharing the same infrastructure. but there are other benefits to having a solar platform on water. being closer to the water surfaces, we reduce the temperature of the panel and then we increase the efficiency of the panels. we observed an increase in efficiency up to 10% and annual average increase of around 4% in increase of production. large platforms like this one also cool water temperatures by shie...

The hydroelectric plant only use one third of the capacity of the power line. so we have two thirds available. and then we, the objective was to use that available capacity to inject an additional renewable source, in this case solar. so we created this hybrid concept. so we combine solar and hydropower on the same power line, sharing the same infrastructure. but there are other benefits to having the solar platform on water. being closer to the water surfaces, we reduce the temperature of the p...

Of blue green algae, which can produce harmful toxins. but there is one rather messy downside to having such a large platform on the water. and one thing that i couldnt help but notice when we were looking at the panels is the local birds leave some gifts behind. what kind of impact does that have? and how do you manage that? when they are very dirty, it has an impact on the efficiency of the panels. we are doing some proof of concepts with the robot. we have the idea to have autonomous robots d...

Grants from our key shareholders, us, but also european countries, uk, france, germany, the european commission. norway has been also a very large contributor, the netherlands. so i mean, these are the key contributors that accepted to cover half of the risk we are taking in the country. but ive got to ask you this, is the political will there? given some of the hesitancy that weve seen from some european countries, also from some parts of the united states congress. i think we must acknowledge ...

To having a solar platform on water. being closer to the water surfaces, we reduce the temperature of the panel and then we increase the efficiency of the panels. we observed an increase in efficiency up to 10% and annual average increase of around 4% in increase of production. large platforms like this one also cool water temperatures by shielding the surface from the sun. this not only reduces evaporation, but prevents the growth of blooms of blue—green algae, which can produce harmful toxin...
