According to the agreement, the parties would work towards the promotion and commercialization of offshore floating solar plants and explore the possibilities for offshore solar-hydrogen plants using Jinko Solar’s high efficiency and reliable Tiger Neo products, according to the company.
Compared to ground mounted systems, the BOS cost of floating solar PV plant is much higher on average due to floats, anchoring, mooring, and plant design. In addition, its operation and maintenance activities are generally more difficult to perform on water than on land.
Powerful, reliable and durable solar panels required
As a result, FPV projects require more powerful and highly reliable and durable panels as Tiger Neo, according to Jinko. These factors help reduce the BOS and O&M cost by 4-5% as compared to conventional P-type panels.
