The unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) developed by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) for monitoring hydro-floating solar panels has been designed to reduce risks faced by divers tasked with inspecting cables and floating buoys.

PTT Group has piloted the installation of a floating solar panel in the sea with a total capacity of 100 kilowatts at PTT Tank Terminal in Rayong as part of its campaign to promote renewable energy, a PTT press release said on Tuesday.
