Technology

SolarinBlue deployed the first offshore solar farm in the Mediterranean. Floating PV withstands 10m+ waves and 200 km/h winds. 90% recyclable, 30+ year lifespan.

Key Differentiators

Open-ocean capable (10m waves, 200 km/h winds). First operational Mediterranean offshore solar. +6% yield. 90% recyclable. No land use conflict. 30+ year lifespan.

Data Center Value Proposition

Coastal DCs have adjacent ocean surface for solar generation without consuming land.

Cost / ROI

LCOE competitive with rooftop solar. No land cost. Carbon reduction metrics. Potential PPA revenue.

Technology Readiness

TRL 7-8 -- Operational at Port of Sete. Scaling to 1 MWp Mega Sete.

Summary

SolarinBlue deploys offshore floating solar surviving 10m waves. First Mediterranean offshore solar. Bifacial panels +6% vs. land. 90% recyclable, 30+ year lifespan. EUR 6M+ France 2030 funding. NATO DIANA 2026.
