GCL JINING: 6,776 kWp

Located in Jining, Shandong, China, this 6,776 kWp floating solar plant is installed on a mine lake with an area of 727,779 m² (72 ha).

The platform is equipped with Classic version of Hydrelio® technology and supports 24,640 floating solar panels of 60 cells (275W GCL standard modules). The total structure covers 9.5% of the water surface.

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 14.1 m depth while dealing with a 6.4-m water level variation.

Jining’s floating solar plant has been operational since April 2018 and generates green electricity to the local grid.
