Key Features of Reverlast Modules

Ships in 1-50 MWp size. Dividable into 100 kWp Modules.

Even the outer islands of remote archipelagos can have similar low electricity production costs as the main island hubs.

Storage as standard: 1 MWp of Reverlast solar comes with to 3 MWh BESS.

Integrated in the floating Reverlast Module or BESS on the beach. Both options available.

At home in significant 4m wave heights.

Module length: 100m
width: 5m
weight: 30tn kg

Electrical components stay dry and protected.

By up to 10cm thick glass fiber walls.

Anchorable up to 15km off the coast &50m water depth as standard.

More complex anchoring possible upon request.

Integrable desalination unit & freshwater tanks.

Deploys into remote sites with zero supporting infrastructure as standard.

Made for nearshore

Made for nearshore

Remote island and coastal grids run on diesel. Not because renewables don't work - but because they haven't been designed for places where land is scarce, in competing use, or constrained by terrain, and where infrastructure is limited.

Floating solar on lakes and reservoirs is already a proven technology. Moving it to coastal and marine waters is not. Wave loads, salt corrosion, biofouling, and mooring complexity multiply.

Reverlast is designed specifically for this environment - withstanding significant wave heights up to 4 m, water depths up to 50 m, and deployable 0.5 to 15 kilometers from shore.

Modular by design

Modular by design

Reverlast system scales from 1 to 50 MWp and is built from standardized ~100 kWp modules, allowing phased deployment and adaptation to local conditions. A standard 1 MW configuration consists of 12 modules (approx. 120m × 100m footprint).

Spacing between modules enables maintenance crews to access any module by boat, while ensuring light passes through to sustain marine life and creating favorable conditions bio habitats. At the same time, partial shading can help moderate light and temperature exposure in sensitive coral reef environments.

When the sun sets, Reverlast power doesn't

When the sun sets, Reverlast power doesn't

As standard, every Reverlast module includes integrated battery storage (BESS, 1:3 MWp to MWh), deployed either inside the module or onshore. The system is designed as a dispatchable power plant, not an intermittent solar installation, with pure PV only available on request.

Energy generated during the day is stored and delivered to evening and nighttime demand. This enables replacing the expensive diesel hours around the clock, with the diesel genset remaining a key backup for extended weather event periods and emergencies.

Dispatchable solar, not intermittent

Reverlast Module economics at two financing scenarios. BESS at 1:3 MWp to MWh ratio. All figures include full system CAPEX: panels, blade pontoons, transportation, mooring, installation, and grid connection. Lower end of the range is close to a shipping hub (e.g. Singapore), while the upper range represents the most remote locations on earth (e.g. Easter Island).

Why wind turbine blades?

Every other floating structure company builds custom floaters from scratch. We start with a structural composite that the wind industry already spent billions engineering and hundreds of thousands to build.

Built for decades of punishment

Built for decades of punishment

Epoxy glass-fiber composite, originally designed to endure 25+ years of fatigue loads, ice, salt spray, and UV exposure at the top of a wind turbine. Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and structurally overbuilt for floating solar from day one.

Growing supply, falling cost

Growing supply, falling cost

Around 50,000 blades are projected to to retire by 2035 and wind farm operators paying the bill for disposal services. With the continuingly fast wind turbine capacity additions, there's no shortage of blade material supply in the foreseeable decades.

Hollow by design

Hollow by design

Wind turbine blades are hollow structural shells with up to 10 cm thick walls. That interior becomes a protected bay for inverters, battery cells, and cabling. Electronics stay dry and shielded from the marine environment.

DEPLOYMENT

From port to power

Our operations model is designed around geographical flexibility and minimal blade processing. We move to the blades, not the other way around. No stationary factories. Zero receiving port infrastructure requirements.

1

Blade-to-pontoon conversion

Nearest port to decommissioning site

Retired blades are collected from wind farm decommissioning sites and transported to the nearest suitable port. A mobile prefabrication team converts blades into sealed pontoons, ready for outfitting.

2

Outfitting and shipping

Off-the-shelf marine logistics

Pontoons are loaded onto multi-purpose project cargo vessels with onboard cranes. Solar panels, inverters, BESS units, and mooring hardware travel with the pontoons. No specialized ships required.

3

Splash and assembly

Destination waters

At the project site, pontoons are lowered directly into the water from the vessel. Solar panels and electrical systems are connected on the water. The module is assembled into its final array configuration.

4

Anchoring and grid connect

Local partners

The completed array is towed to its mooring position, anchored to the seabed, and connected to the local grid via subsea cable. The entire process from site confirmation to first power takes approximately 5 to 6 months.
