SPIC is one of the big five παροχής ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας στην Κίνα και η μεγαλύτερη επιχείρηση of photovoltaics in the world.

The tests are taking place off the coast of Haiyang, a city in Shandong, eastern China.

The uses the patented floating solar energy technology of Norway-based Ocean Sun.

The two solar floats (see photo above) have a peak power of 0,5 megawatts. They are connected to a transformer on a wind turbine owned by SPIC, and then an undersea cable runs from the wind turbine to the power grid.

If the tests are completed successfully, the plan is to build a 20 MW floating wind-solar farm in 2023 using Ocean Sun's technology.
