ANHUI CECEP: 70,005 kWp

Located in Bengbu, in the province of Anhui, China, this 70,005 kWp floating solar plant is installed on a mine lake.

The platform is equipped with Classic version of Hydrelio® technology and supports 194,731 floating solar panels of 60 cells (335W and 360W LERRI SOLAR standard modules). The total structure represents more than 60 ha.

For this project, Ciel & Terre supervised the engineering of the floating PV system and the anchorage. Our scope included:

• Supply of our Hydrelio® (made in China) and design of the floating platform
• Design, supply and installation of the anchoring solution

Anchored at the bottom of the pond, the anchoring solution has been designed to meet a maximum 14 m depth while dealing with a 3.9-m water level variation.

Anhui CECEP’s floating solar plant has been operational since March 2019, making this one the largest floatovoltaic panels complex in the world installed with Hydrelio® technology, and generates green electricity to the local grid.
