Ootsuda Ike – 973 kWp – Floating PV System

This floating solar plant of 973 kWp is installed on an irrigation pond, located in Nara prefecture, Japan.

The Hydrelio^® floating solar system supports 3,744panels (260W REC modules), and covers about 57 % of the water surface (1.84 ha).

For this project, Ciel & Terre^® operated as EPC (Engineering Procurement and Construction). We were in charge of Hydrelio^® supply, solar island and anchoring system design, construction supervision, financing, and operation & maintenance. The bottom anchoring was designed to meet a maximum depth of 5.3 m and a level variation of 5.3 m.

The grid connection was effective in August 2017.
