Solar Power Systems for Buoys

Autonomous solar power solutions for demanding buoy applications.

When traditional power systems relying on cables and polluting generators are not preferred or even feasible, we provide the ideal solution: a green, autonomous solar power system. For buoy applications, our solar systems can supply energy to critical equipment such as automatic release systems, navigation aids, AIS transmitters, or work lights. Engineered to withstand the harshest conditions, including strong winds and sea spray, these systems offer exceptional durability and long service life. Additionally, we can deliver explosion-proof solar systems certified to ATEX or IECEx standards. With our advanced telemetry technology, real-time data is always accessible and can be monitored and controlled remotely from control rooms or handheld devices.

Harsh Environment Ready

Designed for heavy wind, sea spray, and offshore exposure.

Hazardous Area Approved

ATEX and IECEx certified solutions available.

Remote Monitoring

Advanced telemetry enables real-time monitoring and control.

Flexible Applications

Suitable for CBM and SPM buoy systems.

Solar power system for mooring buoys

A Conventional Buoy Mooring (CBM) system enables safe mooring of a vessel positioned between multiple buoys. For these mooring buoys, our solar power system supplies reliable energy to various onboard systems, such as automatic release mechanisms, navigation aids, automatic identification system transmitters, and work lights.

The solar power system features a robust design and operates reliably under harsh marine conditions, including sea spray and strong winds. In addition, we can supply equipment suitable for ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 environments when required.

The system can operate as a standalone solution or integrate with our quick release mooring hooks and telemetry systems. Through advanced telemetry, operators can monitor and control the system remotely. Data loggers using General Packet Radio Service, LoRa, or Ultra High Frequency communication provide real-time insight into the performance of all connected equipment on the buoy.

Solar power system for single-point mooring buoys

An SPM buoy supports operational and communication systems for remote subsea structures. For this application, we design and deliver an easy-to-install, all-in-one skid that integrates the required equipment, including a solar power system. This system supplies power to all electrical components onboard the SPM buoy.

The skid is prewired, fully tested, and can be mounted directly on top of the buoy. In addition, the solar power system ensures a continuous power supply to onboard systems. When combined with a telemetry unit, operators can monitor system data remotely and in real time.

We can design and engineer custom-made solar-powered skids for SPM buoys, including the following options:

ATEX Zone 1 or ATEX Zone 2
Data logging through Lora, GPRS, Satelite or OHF
Remote control by an advanced telemetry system
