GCL System Integration and Ocean Sun have successfully completed a floating solar energy project at the Soneva Secret resort in the Maldives, utilizing over 4200 marine floating modules to supply up to 90% of the resort's electricity and displace diesel generators. This initiative is projected to save 1 million liters of diesel annually and cut carbon emissions by over 2000 tons, demonstrating a shift towards clean energy self-sufficiency for islands and remote communities. The project's design incorporates highly waterproof and corrosion-resistant solutions tailored to various sea conditions, presenting a practical pathway towards cleaner and more resilient energy systems for islands and coastal regions worldwide.
