THE SYNERGY BETWEEN
THE SUNSHINE AND
THE POWER OF WATER

Floating solar,
ingenious and bold
Floating solar is qualified as the
Basically, water bodies are covered with PV modules thanks to a floating structure. Floating solar is the smart combination of floats and solar panels, the whole system being anchored at the bottom, to the banks or both.
Indeed, it aims to produce renewable energy where land is scarce, not to mention the complement energy generation by other energy facilities.
Floating solar plants can be used by companies, industries, public institutions or local authorities throughout the world. They meet on-site clean energy needs or inject electricity into the grid.
The benefits
of floatovoltaics
Floating solar is an answer to societal concerns and also creates opportunities
for renewable energy production.
Helps produce green energy
Solves land issues by preserving available land
Is compatible with various types and usages of ponds
01.
Produce clean energy, on the world scale
In the world energy mix, there are 590 GW of operational solar facilities (2020 – International Renewable Energy Agency). On the world scale, the potential of floating solar reaches 400 GW.
