NaturSea-PV is developing a lily-inspired PV substructure solution to meet the specific needs for Offshore Floating PV. The sub-structures will use newly developed environmentally friendly low carbon ultra-high-performance concrete, and it will be coated with new biobased antifouling and anticorrosive coatings. The lily’s concept of radial and tangential girders will take advantage of the flexibility and lightness of the new eco-concretes to withstand the harsh offshore met-ocean conditions. UCC are responsible for leading a package of work on Environmental, Social and Economic Considerations. This work package seeks to scope out the potential planning and regulatory, environmental, and societal issues associated with large-scale roll-out of Floating PV installations.
