[RE-wrenches] Floatovoltaics

[Andrew Truitt]

We've spoken with Isofloating <https://www.isifloating.com/en/> a few times
and have been pleased with their service and technical understanding of
real-world challenges.  Their US experience is not extensive, but the
product seems solid and pricing is competitive.  C&T seems to be a good
option as well.



Regards,

Andrew Truitt
