PROJECT OVERVIEW
Soneva Secret
Ocean Sun is proud to announce the successful completion of a pioneering floating solar installation at the Soneva Secret resort in the Maldives. The installation features a 2 MWp floating solar plant paired with a 3 MWh battery storage system and marks a significant step toward affordable and clean energy independence for islands and remote communities. By replacing diesel generators, the resort can run up to 90% on renewable energy and save up to 1 million liters of diesel annually, reducing over 2,000 tons of CO₂ emissions each year. The project is the result of a strong international partnership: Singapore-based Canopy Power served as the developer and integrator, Huawei provided advanced battery and power electronics systems, while GCL IS as supplied the PV modules.Country:

How does the system perform in extreme weather conditions?
Ocean Sun’s system is engineered to withstand harsh marine environments, including storms, strong winds, and typhoons with wind speeds up to 275 km/h. The flexible membrane and low-profile design reduce wind drag, while the mooring system secures the platform to prevent displacement during extreme weather.
