Technical FAQs 4

Which Ocean has the richest offshore solar PV resource?

The findings reveal that the South China Sea has the richest offshore solar PV resource and the least intra-annual fluctuation, despite challenging ocean conditions.

Are offshore solar PV projects exploitation potential in the seas?

A thorough investigation of exploitation potential of offshore solar PV resource in the seas around China has been performed for the first time. Long-term ocean conditions relevant to the durability and module efficiency of offshore PV projects are investigated.

Which Ocean is best for offshore solar PV farms?

The shallow coastal waters of the Beibu Gulf, Yellow Sea, and Bohai Sea offer the best ocean conditions for the development of offshore solar PV farms since they are characterized by relatively lower wind speeds (<9 m/s) and smaller significant wave heights (<1.5 m).

How much Sea area can be used for offshore solar PV farms?

In this study, we assumed that 1/100 of the sea area, featuring water depths lees than 60 m and distance to coastline <60 km, could be utilized for offshore solar PV farms based on project experience.
