Solar Islands

Video of Solar Islands -- a concept by CSEM, Switzerland (www.csem.ch)





These artificial islands are giant platforms that float on the sea and which, in the long term, will produce the same amount of electricity as a small nuclear-power station.

Thanks to a simple design, coupled with optimized technologies and suitable materials, the energy produced could be offered at a competitive price of 10 to 20 centimes per kWh.
