China has taken solar power to the open sea by building the world's largest floating solar plant, and it's already changing how renewable energy can be deployed where land is scarce. The massive project, called HG14, is located about 8 km off the coast of Dongying in Shandong. . The panels are cooled by sea air and receive extra reflected sunlight from the water, they generate 5-15% more power than similar systems on land. HG14 exemplifies how offshore setups multiply efficiency via natural cooling. It became. . Officials in China recently announced the construction of a huge 1. 8-gigawatt floating solar energy project in the Bohai Sea. According to PV Magazine. .
