FLOATING SOLAR SYSTEMS
INTRODUCTION
Mibet delivers reliable floating solar systems engineered for a wide variety of water bodies, from the calm waters of reservoirs and irrigation canals to more challenging environments like quarry lakes, aquaculture ponds, and hydro-dam basins.
Our process always begins with your unique site. Our engineering teams conduct a thorough analysis of critical data, including water depth, wind and wave loads, and the soil conditions of the lakebed and shoreline. This allows us to engineer the ideal anchoring solution for your project—be it a shore-tethered system, a bottom-anchored array, or a pile-driven foundation that complies with all local building codes.
Designed for a 25-year service life, our promise of durability is built on proven materials. The support structures feature UV-stabilized HDPE floats that prevent degradation and are specially designed to resist bio-fouling from organisms such as algae and mussels. This is the key to a truly low-maintenance system. Furthermore, our components have passed rigorous third-party tests and earned TÜV, SGS, and CE certifications, verifying their performance under the harshest conditions, from extreme wind loads to long-term water and UV exposure.
The Advantages and Disadvantages of Floating Solar
Floating solar turns the dead space on reservoirs and lakes into a power generating asset. You'll often hear this referred to as “floatovoltaics” (FPV), and for developers or business owners facing land scarcity, it's an elegant fix. It allows you to preserve valuable ground for agriculture or real estate while capitalizing on water bodies that are otherwise just sitting there.
Floating Solar: 8 Things You Need To Know
Solar power has grown in popularity in recent years, thanks to the global push for renewable energy. While solar panels on the ground are the usual way to capture the sun's power, floating solar is catching on fast. This clever approach puts panels on floats out on lakes, reservoirs, or other large water bodies, generating clean energy without taking up valuable land space.
What is a Floating Solar Power Plant?
Within a floating solar mounting structure, solar modules are engineered to float upon water surfaces. These panels generate energy, which is then conveyed to a transmission tower via submerged cables. A significant rationale for the preference of this solar technology by numerous countries is the enhanced productivity it offers in comparison to conventional ground-mounted or roof-mounted photovoltaic panels.
