Advantages of Concrete Pile High Elevation Mounting System

The floating solar power plant is a kind of PV power plant which can be built on water areas like lakes, ponds, reservoirs, etc. Compared with the traditional ground or roof solar power plant, it has better ROI and requires no land resources. Benefit from those advantages, it has vast potential for future development in home and aboard.



The floating solar mounting system can be divided into two types according to the different foundations, one is the Solar Floating System with anchors, another is the concrete pile high elevation mounting system, which is applicated for the water area with shallow water depth.

Different from the ground solar power plant, the floating power station requires no land resources, and it is suitable for some countries or regions with limited land, such as the Middle East. Besides no need for land, the floating solar power station has many potential benefits, including reducing water evaporation, improving water quality, reducing algal blooming, etc. Its total power generation is about 10%-15% higher than of the ground or roof solar power plant.

The floating system can be perfectly combined with the fishery also. By building up the PV arrays above the fishery pond, the whole system can achieve dual use in power generation and shading.

The Advantages of Concrete Pile High Elevation Mounting System

1. Cooling: Solar panels perform better when they are cooler, meaning that a floating solar array will outperform a land-based solar array of comparable size owing to the cooling effects of its location on the water.

2. Shading: The floating platforms used for these PV projects shade the water beneath, reducing evaporation by up to 70%. Over time, this reduced evaporation could save a huge amount of water, while the shading could also limit algae growth beneath the surface.

3. Space: One big benefit of floating solar is that it doesn’t require the use of valuable land space, which can be costly, and even intrusive, depending on the project in question. Land can be preserved for other uses, such as agricultural processes.

Floating solar often requires less in terms of both labor and materials than a land-based project of similar size. The dual use innovative way enables the perfect combination of PV industry and fishery, it can not only save land space, but also provide more renewable energy.
