EPC experience with floating solar panels
Business Case of floating PV on an irrigation pond in the UK
Interview with Linda Grave, Managing Director at East Green Energy Ltd. This EPC contractor choosed Ciel & Terre’s Hydrelio® technology to install a 50 kWp floating PV plant on Reeders irrigation reservoir in East Anglia, UK to supply electricity to the irrigation pumps. (2015)
Ciel & Terre’s scope: engineering design – including Hydrelio® platform and anchoring system – and supply and installation of the anchoring solution
REEDERS – 50 kWp
LOGICAL USE TO DEAD SPACE
- 192 floating solar panels (Winaico – 260W)
- Implementation on an irrigation reservoir
- Water coverage: 2% / 500 m²
- Bank anchoring system
- Grid-connection on December 2015
Irrigation pumps used for farming require high usage of electricity on site in East Anglia. Therefore, floating solar was a logical step, as it is a very good marriage between the peak generation of solar and the peak usage of pump. Floating the solar rather using a ground mounted system obviously means you are not using valuable crop growing land. The Hydrelio® system is quite logical in the way it goes together; it is not a complex system to put together at all. With a few people a production line is made and you build it on the shore, make rows and then just put it in, it is very simple.
