The world’s first 100-kW-class bamboo-based offshore photovoltaic platform, Jilin No.2, was completed in Yantai, Shandong. The platform’s primary structure uses bamboo-wound tubes and sea-bamboo tubes as core supports; project developers say these components outperform conventional wood-based composites on overall mechanical performance and offer high strength, corrosion resistance and renewability. The unit will be installed at Yantai’s offshore PV demonstration and testing base to supply green
