Waterfront · Off-grid · Since 2024
Light,
cultivated.
Marine Solar Trees turn a marina into its own power station, an orchard of sculpted canopies that shade the promenade by day and carry it through the night.
The proposition
A sustainability credential you can see from every berth.
For a new waterfront development or a marina renovation, the Marine Solar Tree is more than clean power. It is a visible, auditable ESG asset. On-site generation that counts toward carbon targets and certification, wrapped in a form worth putting on the cover of the brochure.
Because we build upward rather than outward, the orchard adds renewable capacity, shade and amenity without claiming the quayside. Nothing is trenched, nothing is dredged, nothing is hidden behind a fence, and it keeps working when the grid does not.

Form
The stone pine, rewritten in glass.
The silhouette comes from the Mediterranean stone pine: a bare trunk holding a wide, level crown. It is the most efficient shade structure the coastline ever produced, and it happens to present a near-perfect surface to the sun.
Panels are cut and set to echo leaf and branch, so the canopy reads as foliage from the promenade and as an array from the air.
An orchard that pays for the harbour it stands in.
