Phoenix Solar connects floating photovoltaic (PV) system to the grid
- Pilot project helps to explore new opportunities for PV systems
Sulzemoos, 13 June 2013 / Phoenix Solar Pte Ltd., the Singapore based
subsidiary of Phoenix Solar AG (ISIN DE000A0BVU93) has successfully
connected to the grid the first floating photovoltaic (PV) system in
Southeast Asia. The 5kWp system is a pilot project located in the Pond
Gardens of Bishan Park. The project is a privately funded collaboration led
by Phoenix Solar with the gracious cooperation of the National Parks Board.
The solar modules are manufactured in Singapore and donated by REC Modules
Pte Ltd.
The floating PV installation uses 20 REC Peak Energy Series solar modules,
fixed at a 10 degree angle and placed on interlocking UVresistant floating
structures. The system is anchored to the lake bed at four points, with the
current produced by the panels sent to land via marine-grade submersible
cables.
For a year Phoenix Solar will test the suitability of the floating PV
system installed on fresh water. Phoenix Solar has installed multiple
sensors measuring criteria such as solar irradiation, temperature and
humidity that will accurately track the performance of the system and
provide valuable data for research.
Phoenix will closely monitor the pilot project to study the environmental
impact on water quality, flora and fauna, and to quantify a number of
anticipated benefits. (i) The water cooling effect should improve solar
cell efficiency. (ii) By covering expanses of water, the floating PV should
reduce evaporation of valuable fresh water. (iii) Restricted penetration of
sunlight in the water bodies should impede the growth of undesirable algae.
Scaled up sufficiently, floating PV is an excellent complement for existing
hydro power plants, helping to conserve the reservoir volumes while
generating power.
Floating PV is also an attractive option for land scarce countries with
high density of water bodies such as Singapore.
