Engineers
Tests done on parts and components
We can adapt to a variety of pond types with reliable and bankable products.
Our solutions are designed based on our continuous R&D involvement, which started years ago. They are tested by trustful partners, and they are used in more than 290 floating solar projects around the world.
Our teams analyse your project, and they select the most appropriate technology and floating PV plant configuration considering your needs and the conditions of your pond site.

Hydrelio®, more than a product…
We systematically design the floating PV plant and the anchoring plan along
with supplying our products.
Anchoring by Ciel & Terre
CONVENTIONAL ANCHORING SYSTEMS
Hybrid anchoring (bank and bottom) | Deadweights
expertise, we master anchoring
installation in numerous countries.
We are able to set up any
anchoring systems, bank as
well as bottom.
Bottom anchoring | Screws
Bank anchoring | Percussive earth-driven anchors
OUR CUSTOM ANCHORING SOLUTIONS
Parabolic mooring line
to anchoring too so that the solutions we
propose are the most adapted to your
site’s constraints.
For instance, we pioneered the parabolic mooring system,
which we can design and
install for your floating PV project
when needed and applicable.
Pillar anchoring
anchoring solution for dry ponds and
ponds where the water level
regularly fluctuates.
This pillar anchoring system
guarantees an optimal FPV plant lifetime
on such ponds.

HYDRELIO® FLOATING BARGE
Your electrical station on water
Thanks to this system we minimise the electrical losses due to the cable distance between the FPV plants and the banks.
Our test policy
Our solutions are innovative and designed for optimised performance. Their reliability expresses itself via the numerous projects in which they are used around the world, and it is proven by the tests they pass.
In-house products’ tests
To continuously enhance the performance of our floating solar solutions, we have established our own Research lab.
We validate products, evaluate projects and test products under development. The tests assess the relevancy and the longevity of the solutions we offer you.
As an example, we have developed specific test benches:
- Tensile bench with ‘Heating and Cooling’ chamber
- PFS (Panel Fixation System) Bench
- Wave Fatigue Bench
Tensile bench with ‘Heating and Cooling’ chamber
The mechanical strength of the product is evaluated
under different environmental conditions to understand and
replicate wind / load parameters present at
every floating solar site.
PFS (Panel Fixation System) Bench
The fixation system is a critical factor for the life of a floating
solar plant. To check its precision, the system is analysed for
maximum tension, compression, and fatigue loads.
Wave Fatigue Bench
Wind and waves are the biggest loads that will affect a
floating solar plant. Using the know-how related to our
wave fatigue bench we accurately evaluate our products’
resistance to these loads.
We also have test sites.
Test site in France
They enable us to evaluate our product developments under real site conditions.
Monitoring site in Japan
We monitor some real-scale projects to study different points of consideration for floating PV plants.
Our technical partners
In addition to our own test materials, our floating solar and anchoring solutions are validated by qualified companies and labs.
