Elevate the potential of floating solar with next-generation cooling-optimised panels.
Enhancing efficiency, extending lifespan, and maximizing returns for solar operators worldwide.
What is Floating Solar?
Floating solar is gaining in popularity as it allows solar power generation without sacrificing expensive land that would otherwise be used for urbanisation or agriculture. The deployment of solar on in-land waterbodies
The problem area
A Floating Solar system is currently 10 to 20% more expensive to install and deploy than a land-based solar system. Higher infrastructure and deployment costs necessitate higher yield increases and longer lifespan to justify large-scale investment.
High panel temperatures reduce performance.
An overheating panel can lose up to 25% efficiency.
High temperatures increase heat stress, leading to faster panel degradation and higher replacement costs.
Lower efficiency + faster degradation = reduced energy generation and revenue.
Without cooling, floating solar panels are underperforming
Our solution
SolarSub has created a cost-effective cooling system that effectively extracts excess heat from a solar panel and dissipates it into the surrounding water body. The process is completely passive to minimise running costs, and it has no moving parts to improve reliability.
Higher performance
Improve panel output by up to 20%.
Immediate increases in panel performance maximise energy yields
Reduced degradation
Reduce degradation by 57%.
Reduced wear and tear minimises maintenance costs and extends panel lifespan to 40+ years.
Improved ROI
Maximising panel yields and lifespan makes five SolarSub cooling units more cost effective than adding additional panels.
Greater yields and improved ROI makes floating solar more cost competitive.
