Since first producing power on the 2nd of October 2023, the array has delivered green energy every day, demonstrating the reliability and robustness of the technology.
During the past two years, the array has been put through its paces, weathering no less than 17 named storms, including Storm Éwoyn, the most powerful storm to hit the UK in the last 10 years – all while continuing to generate clean electricity.
Simon Forrest, Chief Executive Officer, Nova Innovation, said:
“The robust and dependable reliability of the floating solar array is a testimony to the high quality of our product. The demonstrator, along with the formation of AquaGen365, has enabled us to build up a strong pipeline of projects across the UK.”
The array is powering Forth Ports headquarters with “sunshine on Leith”. The floating solar array reduces Forth Ports energy costs while progressing their ambition of being net zero by 2042.
