Indonesia has a population of approximately 273m, of which 1.5m still lack access to the energy grid. These people live on remote islands, relying on diesel power generation that is expensive and unreliable.The Solar2Wave project will carry out a floating photovoltaic (FPV)-based innovation to solve the energy-access issue of Indonesia's remote islands. An FPV farm is fully scalable, as it consists of small individual solar panels. Different sizes of FPV farms can be placed along the coastal line of an island and connected to residents. In particular, the Solar2Wave innovation can ensure that FPV panels remain intact from incident ocean waves, and thus provide a sustainable solution.By providing energy access to Indonesia's remote islands, Solar2Wave will bring improvements to the economy, working conditions, education, health services, and hazard resilience. This will be demonstrated through a case study based on a representative island.Following the present feasibility study, Solar2Wave will show the potential to be placed for ~6000 islands of Indonesia with residents. The innovation will make FPV an appealing solution to replace the country's current 88% electricity using fossil fuels. We can foresee a long-term development of FPV in Indonesia. The UK and Indonesia will benefit each other from the associated businesses. The enormous FPV market in Indonesia can be a golden opportunity for these two countries to establish joint corporations, and conduct extended trade as well as cultural and educational engagements.Eventually, Solar2Wave will be boosting the world's trend of extrapolating FPV from lakes to seas. The project will help us achieve the Net-Zero goal and mitigate climate change.

印度尼西亚约有 2.73 亿人口，其中 150 万人仍无法接入电网。这些人生活在偏远岛屿上，依靠昂贵且不可靠的柴油发电。Solar2Wave项目将进行基于浮动光伏（FPV）的创新，以解决印度尼西亚偏远岛屿的能源获取问​​题。 FPV 农场是完全可扩展的，因为它由小型单独的太阳能电池板组成。不同规模的FPV农场可以沿着岛屿的海岸线放置并与居民相连。特别是，Solar2Wave 的创新可以确保 FPV 面板在海浪的影响下保持完好，从而提供可持续的解决方案。通过为印度尼西亚偏远岛屿提供能源，Solar2Wave 将改善经济、工作条件、教育、医疗服务、和抗灾能力。这将通过基于代表性岛屿的案例研究来证明。根据目前的可行性研究，Solar2Wave 将展示在印度尼西亚约 6000 个有居民的岛屿上部署的潜力。这项创新将使 FPV 成为一种有吸引力的解决方案，以取代该国目前 88% 的电力使用化石燃料。我们可以预见FPV在印尼的长期发展。英国和印度尼西亚将从相关业务中互惠互利。印尼巨大的FPV市场可以成为两国建立合资公司、开展广泛的贸易以及文化和教育活动的绝佳机会。最终，Solar2Wave将推动世界FPV从湖泊延伸到海洋的趋势。该项目将帮助我们实现净零目标并缓解气候变化。
