Tata Power partners with Ocean Sun on floating solar technology for India

The Economic Times reports that Tata Power said it has partnered with Norway-based Ocean Sun to bring its floating solar technology to India. A planned 300 kWp pilot at Maharashtra’s Mulshi reservoir will assess performance, reliability, costs and scalability under Indian conditions. Tata Power says Ocean Sun’s system places solar panels on a thin membrane floating directly on the water, rather than the pontoons typically used in conventional systems.
