BK Energy (CEO Lee Haeng-woo), a floating solar energy EPC company headquartered in Yeosu, succeeded in making a splash at CES 2024, the world's largest IT and home appliance exhibition, which ended on the 12th.
BK Energy announced on the 15th that it participated in this CES along with 10 companies from Jeollanam-do and introduced new floating and marine solar power generation technologies developed over the past 10 years.
BK Energy, founded in 2015, is a venture company that received New Technology (NET) certification from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy in 2021 with a rotating floating solar power generation technology that improves solar power generation by more than 15%.
In order to install at sea, where the installation conditions are much more difficult than on the water, solar power generation facilities must not be damaged by waves, and solar panels must be kept clean from contaminants such as salt and bird droppings, while at the same time improving power generation efficiency. In a situation where a new technology without reduction is needed, BK Energy developed a hydrophilic inorganic nano-coating technology that inherited and developed the celadon glaze technology developed by our ancestors from the 9th century to the 12th century during the Goryeo Dynasty to protect against salty sea waves and sea breezes. By developing a coating technology that protects solar panels from sunlight for 6 years, we have completed a technology that increases power generation efficiency by more than 5%.
This technology, which is effective for 20 years with a single coating, is a hydrophilic inorganic nano-coating technology inspired by the fact that celadon and white porcelain from a shipwreck maintained their original color even after being submerged in seawater for hundreds of years and then emerged from the water. The company explains that it is being evaluated as an innovative technology that can prevent pollution.
According to BK Energy, through this CES, Bermuda's Fort Knox will not only install a marine solar power plant in the inner bay of Bermuda, an island country in the Atlantic Ocean that is less affected by typhoons, but also build a solar power plant in parking lots and on building roofs and an electric vehicle charging station using clean energy. An MOU was signed.
In addition, we decided to cooperate with TUG Group, a large company in Nigeria, on the floating solar power plant project, and signed business agreements with three companies in three countries, including a business agreement with SEALEXCO.
In addition, SOFT Bank, a Japanese global company, visited BK Energy's booth at this exhibition after conducting a preliminary survey of BK Energy's technology and discussed ways for future mutual growth. TOTAL SOLUTIONS, headquartered in New York, USA, is also actively cooperating with BK Energy. hoped for
In addition, Iceland’s CHARGE ANALYTICS company said, “BK Energy’s marine solar power technology is desperately needed,” and suggested, “Let’s expand our cooperation in the future and join forces to help Iceland become a carbon-neutral country.”
A BK Energy official said, “BK Energy, which has developed more than 30 solar energy-related patents and was discovered by the Korean Intellectual Property Office as a global IP star company, will expand its business to Malaysia, Morocco, the UK, Thailand, Indonesia, Dubai, Australia, Uzbekistan, etc. from 2023 when the coronavirus pandemic ends. “We are leading the globalization of the renewable energy market with Korea’s floating and offshore solar power generation technology, which boasts world-class technology in the five oceans and six continents, and are aiming to become a global company while also aiming for listing in 2026,” he said.

BK Energy signs MOUs with 3 companies from 3 countries at CES... Expansion of global marine solar energy area
BK Energy (CEO Lee Haeng-woo), a floating solar power EPC specialist, signed business agreements with three companies from three countries at the International Electronics Show (CES) held in Las Vegas, USA from the 9th to the 12th, and has been developing for the past 10 years. It was announced on the 15th that it had introduced a new technology for floating and marine solar power generation.
BK Energy signed an MOU with Bermuda's Fort Knox at this year's CES. The plan is to install a marine solar power plant in the bay of Bermuda, an island country in the Atlantic Ocean that is less affected by typhoons, and supply solar power plants in parking lots and on building roofs and electric vehicle charging stations that run on clean energy.
In addition, we decided to cooperate with TUG Group, a large Nigerian conglomerate with the largest territory in Africa and the 7th most populous country in the world with about 220 million people, on a floating solar power plant project in Nigeria. In addition, a business agreement was signed with ‘SEALEXCO’ to utilize the company’s nano-coating technology to solve the problem of desert sandstorms, which are an obstacle to solar power generation.
Nigeria has the most sunlight in the world, but it is facing a serious problem of solar panel pollution due to sandstorms in the desert area. For this reason, solar power plants in this area faced great maintenance difficulties, such as frequent cleaning, to reduce the decrease in power generation efficiency.
BK Energy said, “As the first company to participate in CES, it is significant in that we signed MOUs with many companies we met for the first time.”
At this CES, Softbank, a Japanese global company, also conducted a preliminary survey of BK Energy's technological capabilities and visited the exhibition booth in person to discuss ways for future mutual growth. TOTAL SOLUTIONS, headquartered in New York, USA, also hoped to actively cooperate with BK Energy.
Iceland’s CHARGE ANALYTICS company also proposed signing an MOU and MOA in the future, saying, “BK Energy’s marine solar power technology is desperately needed,” and “Let’s expand our cooperation in the future and join forces to help Iceland move toward becoming a carbon-neutral country.” did.
BK Energy has developed more than 30 solar energy-related patents and has been discovered by the Korean Intellectual Property Office as a global IP star company. Since last year, BK Energy has been a global company in five oceans and six continents, including ▲Malaysia ▲Morocco ▲United Kingdom ▲Thailand ▲Indonesia ▲Dubai ▲Australia ▲Uzbekistan. Korea, which boasts technological prowess, is expanding the scope of its floating and marine solar power generation technology. It is aiming to become a global company and be listed in 2026.
Meanwhile, BK Energy, founded in 2015, is a company that received New Technology (NET) certification from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy in 2021 for its rotating floating floating solar power generation technology that improves solar power generation by more than 15%.
In addition, we have secured the know-how to prevent damage from sea breezes, salt damage, and bird excrement at sea through hydrophilic inorganic nano-coating technology that inherited and developed the glaze technology of Goryeo celadon. Nanocoating technology, which has been developed for 6 years, increases power generation efficiency by more than 5% and has a lasting effect of 20 years with a single coating.
