The Floating Solar Island Concept

Another idea about using water bodies as locations for solar energy has been put forward.

Alternative Energy News.info reports:

"Remember the Solar Lily Pads? Well, Swiss inventor Thomas Hinderling has taken that idea to the next level with his solar islands concept (check out the video). The 5km wide, 20m height island concept would be mobile and would adjust according to the sun’s movement across the sky. Each island would generate hundreds of kilowatts of electricity that would be almost five times cheaper than current electricity rates." See full article.
