Under Construction

Noria Energy has started construction on a 50kW floating photovoltaic (FPV) pilot project in Colorado, USA. This project is the first in the US to use tracking technology on floating solar panels, specifically Noria's 'AquaPhi' tracking system, which allows solar islands to rotate and follow the sun's path, increasing energy output by 10-20%. The project is set for commissioning in September 2025
