  • Patent number: 10807685
    Abstract: Devices and methods with a radiant energy convertors on a flotation module operable to dispose the radiant energy convertor in a first direction. A plurality of magnetic connector elements is disposed near one or a plurality of sides of the flotation module and each magnetic connector element is coupled to the radiant energy convertor, wherein said magnetic connector elements operate to magnetically attract and physically couple one or a plurality of adjacent flotation modules and electrically couple a set of electrodes that operate to connect to an adjacent magnetic connector element located on a second similar adjacent flotation module when at least two magnetic connector elements are located in proximity to one another thereby providing a power grid of floating solar power modules.
