My first thought is that this is probably more expensive than building a solar array on land and connecting it to an electricity grid. Although potentially a ship could spend the northern summer in the northern hemisphere and then go south for the northern winter, gaining access to more sunlight.
- gerad 15y agoYeah, you're probably right about it being more expensive, and much more difficult logistically, to do on a ship. The motivation for it was threefold: 1. Less environmental impact (no covering up a large swath of land). 2. No cost to buy the land. 3. Plenty of access to water. I hadn't even considered the possibility of moving the ships depending on sunlight conditions. That's really brilliant.
