If each buoy produces a max of 150 Kw, ten will produce a max of 1500 Kw. That is only 3.8 Kw per home which relates to a 16 amp service at 240 VAC. My old house has a 125 amp service and even including a diversity factor (not everybody using the max at the same time)I can’t see 16 amps even being close to enough. Is there any backup to how that estimate was made?
