Description
|
Key Components and Specifications: |
||
|
– |
Floaters/Pontoons: |
|
|
|
These are the buoyant structures that support the solar panels and are typically made of HDPE for its durability and resistance to UV, water absorption, and aging. |
|
|
– |
Mounting Structure: |
|
|
|
This framework holds the solar panels securely on the floaters and can be made of materials like aluminum alloy or carbon steel, depending on the specific system. |
|
|
– |
Anchoring System: |
|
|
|
This system secures the entire floating platform to the waterbed or shoreline. Options include anchors, ropes, and elastic springs, chosen based on the water body’s characteristics and water level variations. |
|
|
– |
Modular Design: |
|
|
|
Floating mounting systems often utilize a modular design, allowing for easy expansion and customization. |
|
|
– |
Connectors and Fasteners: |
|
|
|
These components, often made of materials like zinc-nickel alloy, HDPE, or Q235B steel, connect the various parts of the system. |
|
|
Design and Functionality |
||
|
– |
Tilt Angle: |
|
|
|
The tilt angle of the solar panels can be adjusted to optimize energy generation, often within a range of 0 to 15 degrees. |
|
|
– |
Installation: |
|
|
|
These systems are designed for relatively quick and easy installation, often with pre-assembled components to save on labor |
|
|
– |
Maintenance: |
|
|
|
The systems are designed to be easily maintained, with features like integrated walkways for access to the panels. |
|
|
Advantages of Floating Mounting Systems: |
||
|
– |
Space Optimization: They utilize existing water bodies, freeing up land for other uses. |
|
|
– |
Increased Efficiency: The cooling effect of the water can improve the performance of the solar panels. |
|
|
– |
Reduced Evaporation: Floating solar panels can help reduce water evaporation from the water body. |
|
|
– |
Algae Growth Inhibition: They can help reduce algae growth in the water. |
|
|
Specific Examples: |
||
|
– |
Intech Floating-PV-System: |
|
|
|
Uses a 15° module tilt for a self-cleaning effect and offers an integrated walkway for maintenance. |
|
|
– |
Mibet Floating Solar Mounting System G4N+: |
|
|
|
Features a modular design for easy installation and can be configured for various array designs. |
|
|
– |
MRac Floating PV Mounting System G4S: |
|
|
|
Offers different tilt angles (5°, 10°, 15°) and can handle wind speeds up to 51m/s and snow loads up to 1KN/m2. |
