THE TECHNOLOGY

We push our partners to comply with the solutions we need to succeed with our product. This is called innovation - And it drives technology and humanity forward. There is no doubt about it. SUB Solar™V2 power harvesting MUST be a part of the global solution. 

As the name indicates, the SUB Solar™V2 concept is based on a unique solution. We partly submerge our uniquely designed solar panels in freshwater on a special floating structure.
This has benefits like;

  • Cooling of the panels (10-15% more energy).
  • Self-cleaning.
  • Snow and frost-safe (< 6°c sea temperature in winter) 
  • Structural stability.  
  • Storm Safe, H4 - H6 (pending approval)

Nature supplies us with water from above. The movement of the ocean keeps our panels from being soiled by particles like salt crystals, pollen, or bird droppings. Changing, circulating, and treating the water is all that's needed, and our new system design handles this on its own. 

The technology is based on the idea of a freshwater basin for the aquaculture industry. The pool keeps our waterproof solar panels in a controlled environment. We use the toughest solar panels in the world.
