Dubai


With the goal of completely changing the renewable energy market, Dubai-based floating structure expert Floating Man has unveiled a novel idea for offshore floating solar applications. CEO Mehdi Honarvar said the company is keen to start a pilot project and is actively negotiating contracts to implement this innovative technology.

The technology is unusual in that it can be used in open waters, which is a big change for nations looking for alternatives to PV installations on the ground. Honarvar brought attention to the growing interest around the world in switching from ground-based photovoltaics to floating photovoltaics, with Floating Man taking the lead in this new development. 

With its remarkable specs and ability to withstand gusts of up to 160 km/h, the recently unveiled structure is sure to last a long time. The system is composed of a durable steel framework that has been coated to withstand corrosion and is designed to endure for 30 years. Thirty precisely designed pontoons will support the floating solar array.

"Those pontoons can create the highest safety during wind and hurricane," noted Mehdi Honarvar, emphasizing the design's safety features. Floating Man also has a patent for an offshore floating breakwater that provides additional protection for floating solar projects and other uses.
