(Bloomberg) -- Buffeted by waves as high as 10 meters (32 feet) in China's Yellow Sea about 30 kilometers off the coast of Shandong province, two circular rafts carrying neat rows of solar panels began generating electricity late last year, a crucial step toward a new breakthrough for clean energy.
Offshore solar farms work by using photovoltaic panels mounted on floating platforms to harness the sun's energy and convert it into electricity. A major benefit of the process is the fact it frees up vital space on land, a huge bonus in densely populated countries like China.
Installing solar panels at sea preserves the landscape and frees up valuable land for agriculture. But how much energy will they generate? For the first time, two energy researchers at Utrecht University have studied the energy yields of solar panels at the North Sea.
Despite these challenges, offshore floating panels could provide a large component of the energy mix for countries with access to calm equatorial seas. By mid-century, about a billion people in these countries will rely mostly on solar energy, which is causing the fastest energy change in history.
