Nautical Sunrise

The project aims to design, build, and showcase a 5 MW offshore floating solar system using the modular solution of the Dutch floating solar company, SolarDuck. With RWE providing the investment for the installation and deployment, the system is planned to be electrically integrated, certified, and located within RWE’s OranjeWind (Hollandse Kust West VII) wind farm off the west coast of the Netherlands.

Before offshore deployment, the Nautical SUNRISE consortium will conduct extensive research and testing to ensure offshore floating solar systems' reliability, survivability, electrical stability, and yield. A comprehensive scale-up plan will address the challenges and create opportunities to accelerate the commercialization of offshore floating solar systems.
