What is floating solar?
Solar power on water. Never heard of it? Floating solar has its origins in Asia and has also become more widespread in Europe in the last 5 years. This type of electricity generation is still new and innovative, yet it offers a sophisticated and proven technology. Project sizes of 100kW-20MWp (ha/m2) can be implemented without any problems. This technology creates entirely new opportunities and possibilities for the environment, municipalities and industry.
Advantages of floating solar
Reliable and proven technology
- More than 3 GWp have already been installed worldwide
Dual use to increase efficiency
- Generate electricity and increase water quality
- Development of previously unusable commercial areas
- Electricity generation close to industrial consumers
- Farmland is not paved over
Environmental aspects
- Reduction of evaporation up to 9O% under the system
- Reduction in water heating
- Approx. 5O% less light incidence
- Prevention of algae formation
- Pumps and fountains
- Sanctuary for aquafauna
- Changing light-shadow ratio on aquafauna
- High diffuse light component
- Spawning grounds
- Fishing
- Additional income for gravel plant operators
- Floating solar as a cornerstone to strengthen tourism locations in the long term
- Certified for use on drinking water
- Less impact on the environment due to higher light transmission and reduction of evaporation up to 9O%
