Electrek reports: SPIC is one of five major electrical utility companies in China, and the world&#8217;s largest photovoltaic power generation enterprise. The pilot is located off the coast of Haiyang, a city in Shandong, eastern China. The project uses Norway-based Ocean Sun&#8217;s patented floating solar power technology. The two solar floaters (see the photo above) have an installed capacity of 0.5 megawatts peak. They&#8217;re connected to a transformer on a SPIC-owned wind turbine and then a subsea cable runs from the wind turbine to the power grid. If the pilot is successful, the plan is to build a 20 MW floating wind-solar farm in 2023 using Ocean Sun&#8217;s technology.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<div class=\"share_submission\">\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=The+World's+First+Offshore+Floating+Wind-Solar+Pilot+Goes+Online%3A+https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F3DAsIjF\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/twitter_icon_large-93.png\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fhardware.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F22%2F11%2F02%2F213241%2Fthe-worlds-first-offshore-floating-wind-solar-pilot-goes-online%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/facebook_icon_large-47.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hardware.slashdot.org\/story\/22\/11\/02\/213241\/the-worlds-first-offshore-floating-wind-solar-pilot-goes-online?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\">Read more of this story<\/a> at Slashdot.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Slashdot &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/hardware.slashdot.org\/story\/22\/11\/02\/213241\/the-worlds-first-offshore-floating-wind-solar-pilot-goes-online?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The World&#8217;s First Offshore Floating Wind-Solar Pilot Goes Online<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China&#8217;s government-owned utility State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) has launched the world&#8217;s first commercial offshore floating solar that&#8217;s paired with an offshore wind turbine.
