On Tuesday, First Minister Humza Yousaf toured Nova Innovation in Leith, where the panels are being tested ahead of their launch later this year.
The first minister said:"The investment by the Scottish National Investment Bank in Nova Innovation helped expand its manufacturing base here in Leith and aligned strongly with the Scottish government's priority of supporting innovative technology that will help us achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2045.
The official launch of the installation will take place later this year with a multi-megawatt international order already reportedly in the pipeline. Simon Forrest, chief executive of Nova Innovation, said:"With record-high energy prices and growing concerns over security of supply, there is an immediate need for Scotland to focus on homegrown energy from our abundant natural resources.is at the heart of the tidal energy revolution and Nova continues to lead the sector with proven technology and unrivalled reliability. With the addition of floating solar to our portfolio, we are ideally placed to help drive the race to net zero.
"We were honoured to welcome the first minister to discuss the economic benefits, job creation opportunities and the part Scotland can play in the global supply for renewable energy."
