Project Details

Practical renewable energy technology that reduces costs and helps the environment

The Floating Solar Installation project showcases the integration of renewable energy with underutilized water surfaces like reservoirs, lakes, and ponds. This innovative solution reduces land dependency while boosting clean energy production and minimizing water evaporation.

Smart Design for Water-Based Deployment

Built on buoyant, UV-resistant floats, the floating solar system holds PV panels and walkable platforms for maintenance. It incorporates corrosion-resistant electrical components and anchoring systems to withstand waves, wind, and fluctuating water levels.

  • Reduces water evaporation by 70–80% on covered surface.
  • Maximized energy output due to natural panel cooling.
  • No land acquisition needed—ideal for space-constrained regions.
  • Modular design for scalable capacity and easy relocation.

What is a Floating Solar Installation?

Floating solar systems involve mounting photovoltaic panels on buoyant platforms that float on water bodies. This approach is ideal for water treatment plants, reservoirs, and industrial basins where land is scarce or costly.

How It’s Built

The system includes floatation units, PV modules, stainless steel supports, anchoring cables, and waterproof cabling. All elements are engineered to resist corrosion, UV damage, and fluctuating water conditions.

How It’s Installed

Installation begins with mapping the water body, deploying floating structures, anchoring them to the bottom or shore, and connecting to an inverter station. The system is then linked to the grid via underwater or overhead cabling.

Power Efficiency & Output

Floating solar plants benefit from natural cooling, improving panel efficiency by 5–15%. A 1 MW system can generate approximately 1.4–1.6 million kWh annually. Shading the water surface also helps reduce algae growth.

Project Completion

This floating solar project was completed successfully, setting a benchmark for sustainable innovation. It now provides clean electricity to the local grid while helping conserve valuable land and water resources.
