法国SolarinBlue公司已获得印度政府的许可，在芒格洛尔市附近的阿拉伯海建造一个1MWp的海上太阳能发电场。

SolarinBlue通过其位于印度的子公司SolarinBlue Energy，计划在距离海岸10公里的地点建造一个1MWp的海上太阳能发电场，靠近印度第七大港口所在地芒格洛尔市。
海上太阳能发电场计划在19米深的场地开发，总占地面积为200乘200米。
据SolarinBlue称，已经与iDecK合作进行了初步研究，首批机组的组装可能在2024年第一季度之前开始。
芒格洛尔海上太阳能项目将为芒格洛尔电力供应公司(MESCOM)提供电力，帮助实现每年超过1.5GWh的发电脱碳，相当于7000多户家庭的用电量。
海上太阳能全球市场前景
浮动光伏太阳能将在未来几年得到强劲发展。SolarinBlue表示，由于海洋能源的投资成本最低，距离海岸3公里范围内，符合条件的地点的潜力在数十吉瓦。
根据国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)的数据，由于世界上60%以上的人口，即38亿人，生活在海岸线150公里以内，消费潜力已经存在。
这项技术还发现了与海上风电场的自然协同作用，无论是底部固定的还是浮动的，有了这种协同作用，连接的共同化将成为可能。光伏和风力发电受益于有利的重叠，太阳能在夏季和反气旋条件下发电更多，而风力发电在冬季发电更多。
SolarinBlue指出，它正在考虑大规模的同地开发前景——未来五年将超过20GW。该公司预计，分担连接和海上变电站的成本也将进一步降低海上风能和太阳能的成本。
需要提醒的是，SolarinBlue最近推出了据说是法国第一个海上太阳能发电场，作为Sunète项目的一部分。该项目的最终版本将增至25台机组，总装机功率为300kWp，并为塞特港的基础设施提供可再生电力。

SolarinBlue, through its India-based subsidiary SolarinBlue Energy, plans to build a 1MWp offshore solar farm at the site located 10 km from the shore, near the city of Mangalore, which is home to the seventh largest port of India.
The offshore solar farm is planned to be developed at site with 19 meters depth, occupying a total surface area of 200 by 200 meters.
According to SolarinBlue, preliminary studies have been conducted in cooperation with iDecK and assembly of the first units could start before the first quarter in 2024.
The Mangalore offshore solar project would provide electricity to the Mangalore Electricity Supply Company (MESCOM), helping to decarbonize electricity generation for more than 1.5GWh per year – the equivalent of the electricity consumption of more than 7,000 households.
Global market prospects for offshore solar
Floating photovoltaic solar energy is set to develop strongly in the coming years. Thanks to the lowest investment cost of marine energies and a zero visual impact from 3 km away from the coast, the potential of eligible sites is in the tens of GW, SolarinBlue said.
The potential for consumption is already there as more than 60% of the world’s population, or 3.8 billion people, live within 150 km of coastlines, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
This technology also finds a natural synergy with the offshore wind farms, whether bottom-fixed or floating, with which mutualization of connections will be possible. Photovoltaic and wind power benefit from a favorable overlap, with solar power producing more in summer and in anticyclonic conditions, and wind power in winter.
SolarinBlue noted it is looking at massive co-location development prospects – over 20GW over the next five years. Sharing the costs of connection and offshore substations will also further reduce the cost of offshore wind and solar, the company expects.
To remind, SolarinBlue recently launched what’s said to be the first offshore solar farm in France as part of the Sun’Sète project. The project will grow to 25 units in its final version for a total installed power of 300kWp, and supply renewable electricity to the infrastructures of the Port of Sète.
