Eco Marine, F-WAVE team up on ship integrated photovoltaic project May 17, 2021, by Fatima Bahtić
Japan-based technology company Eco Marine Power (EMP) announced that it has begun its joint development program with F-WAVE Company (F-WAVE) on new ship integrated photovoltaic (SIPV) solutions.
As informed, EMP’s Aquarius Marine Solar Power solution will incorporate F-WAVE’s flexible PV panel technology and a customised version will also be fitted to EMP’s patented EnergySail for evaluation at the Onomichi Marine Technology Test Centre (MTTC) in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.
F-WAVE’s flexible solar cells use the Series-Connection through Apertures formed on Film (SCAF) structure allowing a wireless connection with the electrodes, the company said.
