Isifloating: High Quality and Durable Floating Solar System
Designed to be installed as part of floating solar projects over multiple water environments: hydropower plants, irrigation reservoirs, natural lakes, water treatment, quarry lakes, tailing dams, aquaculture farms and others.
Main Environmental Benefits
- Increases ~10-15% photovoltaic power performance thanks to cooling effect
- Reduces water evaporation by ~80% as the system acts as a protective ceiling
- Preserves land for agriculture, livestock or forestry
- Produces renewable energy closer to power consumption
- Improves water removing algae and reduces infrastructure maintenance costs
- Reduces visual impact

High Quality
- Patented bi-float design per PV panel. Manufactured using virgin HDPE (with UV and antioxidant additives and 100% recyclable)
- Injection manufacturing for maximum precision and therefore durability
- Minimum thickness > 2mm of the main float, guarantee of maximized strength and longevity
- Maximum manufacturing speed (1MWp of floats produced in less than 5 days)
Safety
- Easy and secure walking access to any solar panels for cleaning and maintenance tasks
- State-of-the-art quality control and specifications
- Optimized stability and buoyancy resulting from the experience accumulated since 2009
- Optimized aerodynamic coefficient, by eliminating the “sail” effect at the rear of the panel and by the 5° inclination of the PV panels
Adaptability
- ACcompanies water level variations without displacement, even up to emptying
- Phased implementation is possible with increasing energy needs
- High power density for energy maximization
- Withstands strong winds (180km/h); wave heights of 1 m (more if anti-wave barriers used) and extreme temperatures (-20° to 60°C)
Cost Efficiency
- Logistics and storage optimized by the nestable and stackable design (1 MWp takes <8 - 40’ containers)
- Reduced assembly teams with no specialization required. Only basic tools and equipment are used
- Fast assembly speed (1MWp in less than 15 days with a team of 5 people)
- Cleaning with basic equipment and compatible with robotic cleaning
