Fred. Olsen 1848 is proud to announce that the 50x50 meter, 124 kW pilot project in Risør, Norway has successfully been deployed at sea and will be commissioned during spring. It has been a very educating and exciting process, where we take away additional knowledge and know-how for the next phases to come for our floating solar solution, BRIZO.
Our pilot project in Risør serves as
The main challenge for floating solar, particularly in marine environments, is how to handle wave loads in combination with wind. Fred. Olsen 1848 now launches its proprietary solution to this challenge; BRIZO.
BRIZO allows the PV modules to move freely and independently within a rope mesh, distributing the forces to the mooring system. As a result, BRIZO handles both wave and wind loads.
Fred. Olsen 1848 is a technology and innovation company in renewables that develops solutions to the challenges faced by the industry. Our goal is to make sustainable energy more widely available to help combat climate change.
