Starfish
AEON’S FLOATING TIDAL & SOLAR PLATFORM
Unlike solar or wind, tidal energy is predictable, reliable, and powerful, making it an ideal clean energy source.
Unfortunately, it is also heavily dependent on current speed and tidal range which makes it unviable for most oceans and rivers. That is why, with our innovative proprietary design, the Starfish can accelerate the current passing through it, unlocking tidal energy for those who could not access it before, whilst boosting production for existing tidal sites.
01.
The Moon’s energy
The tides are the most predictable and powerful energy source nature has to offer. Its main differentiator comes from being the only structure available in the market capable of accelerating current, which can increase power generation by up to 27 times when compared to simple turbines. It works anywhere from the smallest rivers to the roughest seas.
02.
Improved Solar Efficiency from Ocean Cooling
Every day the sun throws at us more energy than we could ever need. We just fail to catch it. From land prices to roof ownership, installing solar panels on the ocean removes all of these constraints and increases efficiency by up to 15%. Reliable as a rising sun.
03.
Flat-Packing and Remote Assembly
Every location is unique, but our mission is to serve them all. That is why we have designed the Starfish to be easily and efficiently shipped in standard 40ft containers. After arriving at the final location, it can be assembled with nothing more than a wrench and a chain block.
04.
Easy Wind Alternative
If the desired installation location has a higher wind energy yield potential, the solar panels can easily be replaced for an array of vertical axis wind turbines. These turbines, depending on the location, can generate up to three times more energy than solar.
