PROJECT OVERVIEW
Banja
The Banja project in partnership with Statkraft, featuring four PV floaters at Albania’s Banja Hydropower Plant, with the first operational since April 2022 and the full 2 MWp system expected to generate nearly 3 GWh of electricity annually. Hydropower and floating PV are highly synergistic when they share infrastructure and grid connections, reduce water evaporation, and enable more consistent energy generation by complementing each other’s seasonal and daily production patterns.Country:
Albania

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.
