Vast arrays of solar panels floating on calm seas near the Equator could provide effectively unlimited solar energy to densely populated countries in Southeast Asia and West Africa.

Key Points: 
  • Vast arrays of solar panels floating on calm seas near the Equator could provide effectively unlimited solar energy to densely populated countries in Southeast Asia and West Africa.
  • Our high-resolution global heat maps show the Indonesian archipelago and equatorial West Africa near Nigeria have the greatest potential for offshore floating solar arrays.

Solar power rules by mid-century

    • About 70 square kilometres of solar panels can provide all the energy requirements of a million affluent people in a zero-carbon economy.
    • But countries with high population densities, such as Nigeria and Indonesia, will have limited space for solar energy harvesting.
    • Fortunately, these countries – and their neighbours – can harvest effectively unlimited energy from solar panels floating on calm equatorial seas.
    • Marine floating solar panels could help resolve land use conflict.

Indonesia has vast solar energy potential

    • Fortunately, Indonesia has vast solar energy potential and also vast pumped hydro energy storage potential to store the solar energy overnight.
    • About 25,000 square km of solar panels would be required to support an affluent Indonesia after full decarbonisation of the economy using solar power.
    • Indonesia has the option of floating vast numbers of solar panels on its calm inland seas.

The future for offshore floating solar

    • Several companies are working to develop engineering defences so offshore floating panels can tolerate storms.
    • The offshore floating solar industry is in its infancy.
    • Offshore solar panels do have downsides compared with onshore panels, including salt corrosion and marine fouling.
    • Despite these challenges, we believe offshore floating panels will provide a large component of the energy mix for countries with access to calm equatorial seas.
