Reason for hope

Solar pow­er from the lake: that is the idea behind the float­ing PV con­cept offered by Bay­Wa r.e., among oth­ers. The sub­sidiary of the agri­cul­tur­al group of the same name, which spe­cial­izes in renew­able ener­gy solu­tions, installs high­ly effi­cient float­ing PV sys­tems on unused areas of water. Suit­able sites include dis­used lig­nite an sand pits or reser­voirs. The sys­tems pro­duce green elec­tric­i­ty and min­i­mize water evap­o­ra­tion at the same time.

Bay­Wa r.e. has opti­mized the struc­ture for quick instal­la­tion. Twelve PV mod­ules are installed on a flota­tion unit on land which is then towed onto the water and con­nect­ed to oth­er units. To date, the project devel­op­er has 19 float­ing solar plants with a total capac­i­ty of over 200MW in oper­a­tion or under con­struc­tion.
