China's first offshore floating photovoltaic project has officially launched in Qingdao. Operating entirely in a full seawater environment, this groundbreaking project covers 60,000 m² and features a 7.5 MW capacity.
Expected to generate 16.7 million kWh of clean, green energy annually, the project is a major step forward in renewable power. Its innovative movable floating design keeps the solar panels close to the cooling effects of water, boosting efficiency by 5–8% compared to traditional setups. 🌊☀️
This pioneering achievement on the Chinese mainland sets a new benchmark for future coastal energy projects. It underlines how creative engineering and sustainable initiatives are powering a brighter, eco-friendly future for all.
