Russian media: China's floating solar power station on the sea is changing the rules of the energy game!

Netizens asked: What if a tsunami occurs? What if the ocean catches fire?

On July 8, Russian media published an article.

According to China Central Television, China's first offshore floating solar power station has been launched in the world.

This event could be a turning point for both China's energy sector and the global renewable energy industry.

The project is located in Qingdao, China, covering more than 60,000 square meters. The 7.5 MW power station is directly installed on the sea surface and has already started generating electricity.

Russian energy scientists pointed out: China's design is very scientific, the modular structure can withstand high waves, and it can use seawater for cooling, greatly improving the power generation efficiency.

The scientist also said that previously, solar systems were installed on freshwater bodies because using seawater was difficult due to its corrosiveness and waves. However, Chinese engineers have successfully adapted the technology to open ocean conditions, developing materials resistant to seawater and corrosion-resistant structures.

Russian media said: In contrast, the development of floating solar power stations in Russia is still in the early stages, and there are no projects at sea.

Energy scientists also said that Russia has vast maritime territory, and China's experience may inspire interest in this direction.

Russian media believes: This achievement is not only important for China, but also has significant meaning for all coastal countries around the world!

Now, international organizations including the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) have begun to regard this Chinese project as a potential model for promotion in resource-limited countries.

Russian netizens feel a bit disappointed. Victor Kuznetsov said:

Russia is at war, and Russia has already fallen behind in its technological development. It is not yet very obvious now, but the alarm bell is getting louder and louder. Insufficient scientific resources, China and the United States will rapidly develop at an exponential rate.
