Hanwha Q Cells, the world’s largest manufacturer of photovoltaic modules, is building what will be the world’s biggest floating solar power plant at Hapcheon Dam in Korea. Once complete, it will produce enough electricity to supply 60,000 users each year. Hanhwa Q Cells has been involved in the installation of floating solar power plants in a number of countries. Its floating photovoltaic module “Q.PEAK DUO Poseidon” is constructed from eco-friendly materials with advanced humidity resistance, and is ideal for hot, humid environments. The Q.PEAK DUO Poseidon is also highly salinity-resistant, as tests have verified its top performance in sea environments. In addition to being placed in charge of the Hapcheon Dam project, Hanhwa Q Cells has also been selected to install a 63MW floating photovoltaic system in Lake Goheung in Korea’s Southern Jeolla Province, which on completion is expected to meet the household energy demand of 90,000 users per year. This project pushed Hanhwa Q Cells’ cumulative sales of the Q.PEAK DUO Poseidon to the 100 MW mark.
The most advanced floating solar technology
Example of Floating PV Structure (Mooring System)
The typical floating solar system is structurally simple, consisting of an anchor, a buoy, and a photovoltaic module atop the buoy producing electricity. But despite this simple configuration, a floating solar system requires advanced technology to function while safeguarded from winds and waves.
Future trends of floating solar systems
« The FPV (Floating solar systems) market grew to 2 GW of globally installed capacity in 2020. DNV foresees a total of 7 to 11 GW to be installed by 2025 with a major increase from 2023 onwards. » PV Magazine. – https://www.pv-magazine.com/

The Netherlands is also embracing floating solar technology. With inland waterways that have a total area of 7,650 km², it stands to reap a great benefit from floating solar technologies. In 2018, it installed a large floating solar power plant in a reservoir located in the area of Lingewaard. In this development, 6,100 units of a Hanwha Q Cells 300 W photovoltaic module (Q.PEAK) were installed on water spanning 15,800 m² to produce over 1,800 MW of electricity each year, which is enough to meet the energy needs of 400 -person households.
Floating solar system
Floating solar systems offers an efficient and environmentally friendly solution to your energy needs. Our system is compatible with standard photovoltaic modules and it is also suitable for installations of any size. It allows you to fully take advantage of the potential of your unused water surfaces. The cooling provided by the water prevents the overheating of the system, thus you can benefit from optimal energy production.

SOLUTIONS FORAREAS WITH HIGH LEVELSOF SNOWFALL
Floating solar systems are compatible with projects located in very cold areas. Consider a “cold zone” when the project can face temperatures from 0°C to -40°C/F and a snow load exceeding 350N/m² (62 psf).
To meet this site characteristics, use :
a combination of laboratory testing (e.g. compliance with UL2730),
field observation through projects installed in extremely cold regions.
Accordingly, design floats to withstand cold, ice and snow. Depending on the characteristics of your site, we have the right float for your needs.
