FloGen offer scaleable floating solar energy systems with unrivalled efficiency in higher latitudes that optimise the performance of their PV panels, and lock atmospheric CO2 into their structure from day one with bamboo architecture, permitting genuine carbon negative power.

Unique panel arrangements and single-axis tracking allows FloGen arrays to outperform competitor products by up to 40%, driving down cost per kW/h and bringing higher latitudes like Northern Europe, Canada and Northern USA back into contention as attractive locations for solar energy installations.

"Solar power is great, but..."

"IT USES A LOT OF LAND"

FloGen systems are deployed on bodies of water, leaving land free for farming, development or natural habitat.

"NOT IN NORTHERN EUROPE"

FloGen solar arrays are optimised for higher latitudes and use single-axis tracking, which offers energy capture improvements of up to 40% when compared to fixed arrays - equivalent to moving a fixed array from North West England to Northern Spain.

"SOLAR PANELS POLLUTE"

FloGen systems use their PV panels more efficiently than any current fixed or single-axis arrays, so fewer panels are needed for a given output, minimising pollution from extraction of raw materials and manufacture.

"STRUCTURES POLLUTE TOO"

While our competitors' systems are built from plastic and aluminium, our arrays are constructed primarily from bamboo timbers, which locks in more CO2 than the arrays and panels generate in their manufacture - carbon negative power.

Forthcoming Arrays

ISLAND

- Output 23.5 MWh per year*
- Can power 6 average UK homes
- Diameter 14m
- Will save >12 tons of CO2 per year**
Compared to a similar structure in aluminium, a FloGen Island array will save almost 300 tons of CO2 over its lifetime (incl locked-in structural carbon)

TriLAND

- Output 70 MWh per year*
- Can power 19 average UK homes
- Diameter 32m
- Will save ~37 tons of CO2 per year**
Three FloGen ISLAND arrays on a common turret mooring, with a cost/MWh competitive with utility-scale renewables.

Tolv

- Output 281 MWh/year*
- Can power 76 average UK homes
- Diameter 60m
- Will save ~148 tons of CO2 per year**
Cost-competitive, utility-scale generation in a compact, robust package.
