Flexible, floating solar panels installed
A
consortium led by the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific
Research (TNO) has launched a study on floating, flexible solar
energy systems. The project has been installed in the Fieldlab Green
Economy Westvoorne in Oostvoornse Meer lake, near the Maasvlakte,
the Netherlands, a harbor and industrial area close to Rotterdam. The
study team is examining the energy yield of the flexible solar panels, the
behavior of the floating units when faced by waves and strong winds, the
growth of organic material on the units and economic viability. The pilot
project, which will run until summer 2022, is the first step in the creation
of economically viable offshore photovoltaic systems.
Wim Soppe, researcher at TNO and manager of the Solar@Sea II project,
says, " Solar power at sea or offshore PV does not yet actually exist. It is
technically very challenging to install large floating systems with solar
panels at sea and keep them operational for decades. In addition, due to
the expense of material used for heavy, rigid floats, it is often difficult to
make these systems economically viable. This new concept requires a lot
less material, and we therefore have high hopes that it will turn out to be
a lot cheaper. " Photo: TNO.

Fruit waste
transformed into fabric
P
EELSPHERE®
is a fully circular
material made from fruit
waste and algae through advanced
material engineering. Designed for
circularity, the durable, versatile and
biodegradable material offers an
alternative to leather and synthetic
leather. It is also semi-transparent,
flexible, strong, water resistant and
antibacterial. The company, founded
by Youyang Song and based in Berlin,
uses Oeko-Tex certified dyes and
offers a range of colors and patterns.
The material can be embroidered,
woven and sewn into end products,
and depending on its use, it can
harden to create a protective case
or turn soft for fabric applications.

C
reative agency Wolfgang LA,
based in Los Angeles, has
unveiled an offroad prototype
vehicle that's all electric and
delivers " superior on and off-road
performance, " according to the
company. The Thundertruck has,
appropriately enough, futuristic
looks to go along with its zero
emissions. It features a 180 kWh
battery capacity, a 400-mile range,
800 horsepower, and it can go
from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
It's powered, in part, by flexible,
collapsible, roof-mounted solar
awnings that help recharge its
battery while stationary, as well
as offering shade from the sun.
