Swimsol, an Austria-headquartered marine floating solar provider, has commissioned a 2.4 MW floating array at the Cheval Blanc Randheli resort in the Maldives. Currently the largest floating solar project in the country, the installation utilizes Swimsol’s proprietary “SolarSea” platform, featuring a 1.5m clearance above the water line to mitigate wave impact and biofouling. The structure employs marine-grade aluminum and stainless steel, paired with specialized mooring systems designed for sandy seabeds to ensure long-term durability in marine conditions.
