Singapore will experience the largest floating solar power plant Bashny.Net

In the city-state by the end of the year will open the largest and most powerful test site for floating solar panels. Test are about 10 solar systems — today this bunch of floating power plants is the largest in the world, both from the point of view of the generated power and the number of components and complexity.





The landfill will produce up to 1 megawatt of energy, which is enough to ensure the 250 4-room apartments during the year. Now Singapore authorities want to find out whether there is enough effective this whole idea of a floating solar energy, and how much it will affect the infrastructure and on the environment.

So far, however, we are talking only about the benefits: solar panels installed on the water cooled naturally, end up more effective of their land counterparts, the plant does not produce by-products that pollute the environment. But it is in theory. In practice, there are many manufacturers, each of which expresses best the efficiency of their solar panels. The tests will help find out the truth.


The testing program will last a total of up to 6 years. During the first 6 months of the 10 system will choose the 2 most productive, and further scale them. The results will be concluded which system is best and whether the projects floating solar power plants economic feasibility.

Energy technologies gradually go into the water. In may, construction began on the first floating wind power station. Before the construction of the largest floating power plant started Japan. Later, energy was joined by farmers, who will send freely after mills and his cows. published
