We are thrilled to announce that HelioRec, in collaboration with Centrale Nantes , has successfully completed wave tank testing of the W200CM model!

The full-scale prototype was manufactured in Bretagne at EMP ROTOMOULAGE and meticulously assembled by the HelioRec team, with invaluable assistance from the Bassins d’essais de Centrale Nantes team.

Our tests were conducted under various conditions, including different sets of regular and irregular waves, reaching a maximum wave height of 1 meter and testing with various induction angles.

🔹 Wave Monitoring: Installed 8 wave gauges in the ocean basin for precise wave tracking.
🔹 Mooring Systems: Equipped with 4 mooring load cells connected to the catenary mooring lines.
🔹 Load Analysis: Positioned 6 load cells at various points of the prototype for detailed force measurement.
🔹 Motion Capture: Used the advanced Qualisys motion capture cameras to individually measure the motions of the 16 floaters and 4 footpaths. The “rigid bodies” feature allowed us to instantly obtain 6 degrees of freedom for each element.

This successful testing phase brings us closer to revolutionizing renewable energy solutions and demonstrates the potential of ocean-based energy systems.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this happen!

Exciting News in Renewable Energy Despite Challenging Conditions!
We are thrilled to share that HelioRec, a leading innovator in nearshore floating solar solution, has just completed the installation of 25kW project in Brest Port, France!

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that it was accomplished under some of the most challenging conditions nature can throw at us. Brest Port is known for its extreme tidal changes, with tides reaching a whopping 7 meters. Additionally, the region experiences winds exceeding 100km/h and formidable waves.

In the face of these daunting challenges, HelioRec's engineering prowess truly shines. We've designed and built a floating solar plant that withstands these harsh conditions.
All componets, including PV panels, were manufactured and purchased in .

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all incredible participants.

Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique recently organised an exciting site visit in the charming Port des Sables d'Olonne, and the HelioRec team was in attendance to explore the potential of floating solar power plants in the region.

The HelioRec floating system is a one-of-a-kind solar power solution that offers a unique advantage - it can be deployed on the sea at a low cost! The system does not take valuable land space and helps to decarbonise the port's activities.

With Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantiquer leading the charge in marine renewable energy solutions, the site visit proved to be a fantastic opportunity to showcase the HelioRec system's capabilities.

The HelioRec floating system is a promising technology that could usher in a new era of sustainable energy generation for coastal regions. The possibilities are endless, and it's exciting to imagine the positive impact it could have on the environment and local communities.
