Get even more value and energy from your property

With floating photovoltaic systems (FPV), you can create revenue from your unused bodies of water. 

Realising your land’s full potential using proven technology 

Turn lakes, reservoirs, hydro dams, and even old coal quarries into profitable sources of renewable energy.

Mounted on secure floating structures, PV modules help reduce evaporation in areas where water is scarce by providing shade and cover. They can be adapted with extra biodiversity measures like fish hatcheries and insect hotels. As European market leaders in Floating-PV, we’re proudly pioneering this vital and innovative element of the energy transition.

Floating-PV FAQs  

Explore renewable energy

Ground-mounted PV

In addition to unused bodies of water, large sites often offer unused spaces that are ideal for generating even more renewable energy.  

Hybrid Projects

Floating-PV can synergise with other elements, like storage, to produce a more reliable and lucrative project. 

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Storage helps to balance local grids, and to keep renewable energy supplies steady and reliable in the long term.
