The project PV-bos GROW has been awarded with a KSSP 2024 (Korea Spain Strategic Programme) grant, a R&D Programme co-funded by the Spanish Centre for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI) together with the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT). The aim of the Korean-Spanish consortium’s project is to develop a modular and easy-to-install system that drastically reduces the cost of the Floating Solar System: PV-bos.
The implementation of new industrialised manufacturing and deployment methods in an innovative, modular design, based on BlueNewables’ patented PV-bos technology, will enable cost-competitive commercial scale, driving a new solar energy market on a global scale. The companies in the consortium will apply their expertise in various aspects of the design, manufacturing, standardization and logistics process, while meeting high standards of environmental and technical-economic feasibility. PV-bos GROW will develop a high-quality product ready for global deployment of a technology destined to be at the forefront of decarbonisation in all types of energy-isolated and land-scarce areas.
The Spanish consortium is led by TaiichiO and Wolf Projects (Automation and Modularisation) and BlueNewables (Design Engineering) with the collaboration of ECOS (Environmental and Oceanographic Studies) and DOGRAM (3D Documentation Engineering). On the other hand, the Korean companies participating in the project are SeAH (Manufacturing), SPEC (Engineering), IAE (Institute of Advanced Engineering), under the supervision of ZENTECH (engineering), leading the Korean consortium. The participation of Korean partners, brings manufacturing advanced technologies knowledge.
