Kyocera to build world’s largest floating solar power plant using French technology.
The solar panels are mounted on interconnected floating blocks.
Japanese Kyocera, which is a major manufacturer of solar panels , the use of a technique for floating solar power plants developed by French Ciel & amp; Terre called Hydrelio.
It consists of a variety of interconnected floating blocks of recyclable polyethylene, resistant to UV and corrosion.
The French company has built several plants in France, but none as big as Kyocera plans in the Japanese town of Kato.
On the two lakes will solar panels with a total power of 2.9 MW installed. One of the plants have a power of 1.7 MW, making it the world’s largest floating solar power plants.
floating blocks linked by country and then pulled into place. Solar panels booth’s with 12 degree slope. The facility can handle wind speeds of 210 km / h, water flow at a maximum of 2 meters per second and a maximum wave height of 1 meter. Operating temperature between – 5 ° C to + 50 ° C.
According to Ciel & amp; Terre is the advantage of sea-based solar power plants that do not take valuable land space. Hydrelio can be laid out into small lakes or ponds in the industry, as well as in drinking water reservoirs. By covering a large area of the dam reduces evaporation by up to 30 percent. Water sources of stagnant water can be equipped with circulating pumps from the solar energy system. Another benefit highlighted is the cooling effect of the water, which increases the efficiency of the plant.
The construction of the Kato begin in September and will be completed to April 2015 total, 11,256 solar panels for the two plants.
