SolAqua 2.1 - REWS Donation

---

The funding of the SolAqua 2.1 was obtained from a donation by REWS (Regulator for Energy and Water Services) via RIDT (Research Trust of the University of Malta).

The ultimate aim of this research is to launch a large (hundreds of kWp to MWp) farm in Maltese territorial water. If such a project meets the cost and power output targets, it would be possible to implement similar systems worldwide.

This REWS support will enable us to refine and finalize the design of the platforms and test them in wave tank conditions.

This current phase of SolAqua was preceded by the development of proofs of concept fund from the Malta Council for Science and Technology and Take Off. 

The next step is to test the concept and to measure the maximum power output in different sea conditions.
