Upgrading Floating Modules on the Pilot of BRIZO: An Interview with Our Project Manager
Our BRIZO pilot project in Risør, Norway, recently underwent an important technical upgrade where all floating modules were replaced with newly designed, blow-molded versions.
The pilot site in Risør serves as a dynamic testing ground, where we bring our engineering concepts to life through real-world implementation. But what does a day replacing all floating modules at our BRIZO site look like -
NEWS UPDATE: Fred. Olsen 1848 has deployed the Floating PV Technology BRIZO in Risør, Norway
Fred. Olsen 1848 is proud to announce that the 50x50 meter, 124 kW pilot project in Risør, Norway has successfully been deployed at sea and will be commissioned during spring. It has been a very educating and exciting process, where we take away additional knowledge and know-how for the next phases to come for our floating solar solution, BRIZO.

INTRODUCING BRIZO – THE TECHNOLOGY TO UNLOCK THE POTENTIAL OF NEAR- AND OFFSHORE FLOATING SOLAR
The main challenge for floating solar, particularly in marine environments, is how to handle wave loads in combination with wind. Fred. Olsen 1848 now launches its proprietary solution to this challenge; BRIZO.
BRIZO allows the PV modules to move freely and independently within a rope mesh, distributing the forces to the mooring system. As a result, BRIZO handles both wave and wind loads.
