which one? i specifically recall a membrane based design, and the other a floating grid
also, are there estimates of costs ?
Edit: lake floats are ~30% more expensive at the system level. i am asking about ocean systems

These are meant for ocean deployment, right now I believe they mostly use them in locations with somewhat tempered wave conditions like atolls and bays. It's a floating grid structure that holds the panels a few feet above the water. I don't work there myself, for cost estimates,... you'd have to contact them.
