System for a very large bag (VLB) for transporting liquids powered by solar arrays

A system for storing and conveying fluids, said system comprising:

• a non-rigid, water-impermeable device with an elongate shape having a first end, a second end and having a generally streamlined shape in plan view;
• the first end comprising a first attachment device;
• the second end comprising a second attachment device;
• at least two ports for intake and exhaust of fluids;
• at least one of the at least two ports comprising a valve for a user to adjust buoyancy of the non-rigid, water-impermeable device;
• at least a portion of the non-rigid, water-impermeable device containing a fluid of lower density than a fluid through which said non-rigid, water-impermeable device is transported;
• one or more valves in two-way communication with at least a portion of an interior volume of the non-rigid, water-impermeable device and an outside environment;
• a global positioning system (GPS) transponder positioned on the non-rigid, water-impermeable device for conveying information related to the geographic position of the device;
• at least a portion of an internal surface area of the non-rigid, water-impermeable device being comprised of a flexible and tear resistant material;
• and the non-rigid, water-impermeable device being moored to a fixed or floating object;
• wherein the internal surface of the non-rigid, water-impermeable device has a coating to preserve the purity of said lower density fluid;
• one or more photovoltaic arrays operably associated with the non-rigid, water-impermeable device;
• and wherein said one or more photovoltaic arrays comprises perovskite material.
