1MW off-shore floating solar solution PV-bos launched < just saw this news

https://ecomagazine.com/news/industry/bluenewables-launches-its-first-pv-bos-marine-floating-solar-technology-platform/

According to the shipbuilders this is the ”the largest marine solar energy project in the world”. Eventually 2 modules will be installed at the Port of Valencia https://obrasurbanas.es/plataforma-solar-flotante-valencia/, with total 1MW capacity.

It’ll be interesting see how it stands up to real-world coastal conditions: it is designed to withstand harsh offshore conditions, including regular waves of H=11m and T=10s > https://64congreso.ingenierosnavales.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/0900-_BlueNewables_20CIN_PV-bos_V01.pdf

Wait, is Trump secretly the Prime Minister of Australia? Thank you, Trump, for helping get Australia off fossil fuels, we couldn't have done it without you. Hopefully there are lots of off shore wind farms in Australia's future too. Right next to golf courses. Thank you, Prime Minster Trump, you really are making Australia a better place. #australia #renewables #trumpdidthis https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06-05/australias-emissions-drop-as-renewable-energy-batteries-surge/106751294

"the new N163/6.X turbines feature a proprietary electrothermal anti-icing system. They actively heat critical areas of the rotor surface and prevent ice from accumulating on the blades."

Cool. Another issue of wind power falls by the wayside. This has been an issue is Canadian Prairie turbines.
