Floating Solar Power

A solar power generation system with floating components to support modules above the water surface, where the floating units are designed to maintain a Southern orientation. The system consists of a mooring device, cables for power transfer, and inverters. The government provides full or partial subsidies for a portion of the installation cost of renewable energy facilities with the intent to commercialize recently developed renewable energy technologies, while supporting the supply of already commercialized technologies to expand the renewable energy market.
