Is anyone floating solar panels in the ocean? That sounds tough, but obviously worth exploring.

- worthless-trash 2y agoI do not believe that we can design a system that will withstand waves and wind from tropical monsoons or even most tropical storms or cyclones in the pacific. I can't speak for other oceans or areas of the world, but I believe that this design requirement will probably make it a non starter.
