The initiative will provide valuable insights into how factors such as waves, wind, corrosion and the complexity of the anchoring system affect the structural performance of the technology, enabling future scale-up phases to be planned.<\/p>\n<p>The 12&#215;12 metre pilot, moored in the waters of the Santurtzi dock, consists of a modular stretched membrane and mesh structure with an outer frame that provides buoyancy and overall rigidity, enabling it to better adapt to the dynamic loads of the waves and facilitating the use of simple, transportable components, with the potential to reduce installation times and logistical complexity.<\/p>\n<p>This initiative is part of the Seamod project to develop an innovative modular floating solution for PV solar energy in the marine environment. The proposed solution is designed as a system that can be scaled up and integrated with other marine renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind, to facilitate the energy transition by tapping into the potential of the sea and relieving pressure on agricultural and developable land.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"one_half column-last bbcol\"><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"thickbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/LandatuSolar_SEAMOD_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"thickbox alignnone wp-image-54052 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/LandatuSolar_SEAMOD_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Seamod has been developed by <em>Landatu Solar<\/em> with the support of the Basque Government Hazitek 2024 programme, and co-financed by the Basque Government Department of Economic Development, Sustainability and the Environment and the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).<\/p>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/p>\n <div class=\"hide-for-small page-options-container hide-for-print\"> <hr class=\"page-options\"\/> <ul class=\"inline right page-options\"><li><a class=\"bmprint\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Print this article\"><i class=\"icon-print\"><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"bmsend2friend\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Article of interest: The Port of Bilbao hosts the pilot of an innovative floating solar solution -
