Floating solar PV technology is another example of innovation in the renewables industry
Floating solar technology is being used for the first time to power a seaweed farm off the coast of the Netherlands.
The solar PV-powered aquaculture plant has been developed by Dutch companies Oceans of Energy and The Seaweed Company and is located 12km off Scheveningen in the north of the country.

The developers say this is a “world-first for sustainable, multifunctional use of space in the North Sea” and the plant aims to be an example for future designs.
