I would imagine the problem for offshore solar farms wouldn't be bigger as for offshore windmills? That is a relatively expensive, but also not that difficult problem today? What did I miss?

- notatoad 4y agoAre you saying that waves don't exist around offshore wind farms?
- ncmncm 4y agoWaves will tend to destroy floating offshore solar farms. Wind farms are less affected because their cross-sectional area near the water surface is small relative to their mass. But if the panels were in a semi-flexible frame with underwater floats, the waves could be made to mostly run under them.
