DNV, an independent authority in energy expertise and assurance, has concluded an impartial technical assessment of Fred Olsen 1848’s BRIZO floating solar system. This innovative floating photovoltaic technology is engineered to function in rougher wave conditions than standard floating solar platforms.
While most floating solar systems are confined to calm lakes and reservoirs, BRIZO utilizes a flexible rope-mesh and tensioning arrangement. This configuration permits installation in inland, coastal, and near-shore settings that experience heightened wave activity. The system is intended to broaden floating solar deployment into areas where conventional designs encounter technical and operational limitations.
DNV’s evaluation scrutinized BRIZO’s design approach, hydrodynamic load calculations, structural performance, and testing protocols, leveraging expertise from its established standards for floating solar and offshore structures. This independent review offers technical endorsement to facilitate the technology’s subsequent stages, encompassing project development, financing negotiations, and eventual commercial rollout, thereby promoting floating solar as a scalable renewable energy option across a wider range of operational conditions.
Prajeev Rasiah, Senior Vice President and Regional Director for Northern Europe, Energy Systems at DNV, remarked that floating solar is reaching a new level of maturity, requiring the sector to progress beyond protected waters to achieve substantial growth. He observed that systems capable of functioning in more exposed settings could greatly enlarge the potential market for floating solar, especially in areas with limited land, competing land uses, or increasing strain on grid infrastructure. He emphasized that independent technical assurance is crucial for proving these systems can endure demanding environmental conditions throughout their entire service life, thereby instilling confidence in developers and investors as the market develops.
Geir Grimsrud, Chief Technical Officer at Fred. Olsen 1848, indicated that the Statement of Compliance marks a major achievement for BRIZO. He noted that it validates the robustness of their technical methodology and proves the technology can operate under more challenging conditions. He characterized it as a key step toward improving the bankability of their offering and advancing their commercial strategy.
