1.Description

The Foner Solar Flexible Floating Solar Mounting System is designed for photovoltaic installations on lakes, reservoirs, fish ponds, wastewater treatment ponds, and industrial water bodies.

Unlike traditional rigid floating systems, the flexible structure adopts HDPE structural components for both floaters and support brackets, providing excellent adaptability to changing water levels, waves, and environmental conditions.

With its lightweight modular design and high corrosion resistance, the system offers efficient installation, long-term durability, and flexible layout options for floating solar power plants.

2.Product Overview

Flexible Floating Solar Structures Designed for Dynamic Water Environments

Floating photovoltaic systems are becoming an increasingly popular solution for utility-scale solar projects where land resources are limited.

The Foner Solar flexible floating mounting system is engineered to provide:

· Strong environmental adaptability

· High corrosion resistance

· Modular and efficient installation

· Long-term structural stability

By using HDPE materials for both floating platforms and support structures, the system achieves excellent durability in water environments while maintaining flexible movement between floating units.

This design makes it particularly suitable for large-scale floating solar projects in reservoirs, ponds, and industrial water areas.

3.System Components

Core Components of the Flexible Floating Solar System

A complete floating photovoltaic mounting system consists of several key components designed to ensure stability and efficient energy generation.

· HDPE Floating Platforms

The floating units are manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), providing strong buoyancy and resistance to UV radiation, chemical corrosion, and long-term environmental aging.

· HDPE Structural Brackets

Unlike rigid floating systems that use steel supports, the flexible system adopts HDPE structural brackets, significantly improving corrosion resistance while reducing system weight.

· Stainless Steel Fasteners

Bolts, nuts, and washers are made from 304 stainless steel, ensuring excellent durability and reliability in outdoor and water environments.

· Modular Plug-in Connection System

The floating units are connected using a plug-in modular connection design, which simplifies installation and allows flexible system expansion.

· Anchoring and Mooring System

The anchoring system secures the floating solar array in place, ensuring stability against wind, waves, and water currents.

4.Key Product Advantages

Engineering Advantages of Flexible Floating Solar Systems

· Strong Environmental Adaptability

The flexible connection structure allows the floating array to adapt to water movement, waves, and fluctuating water levels, improving system stability in dynamic water environments.

· Excellent Corrosion Resistance

The use of HDPE materials for both floaters and support brackets eliminates corrosion issues commonly associated with metal structures.

This makes the system highly suitable for industrial water bodies, wastewater ponds, and marine-influenced environments.

· Lightweight Structural Design

Compared with traditional floating systems, the HDPE structural design significantly reduces system weight while maintaining strong structural performance.

This improves transportation efficiency and simplifies installation.

· High Installation Efficiency

The modular design allows rapid on-site installation without heavy construction equipment.

Typically, a team of about 15 workers can install approximately 150 kW of floating solar capacity per day under standard conditions.

· Flexible System Layout

The system supports multiple solar panel configurations, including east-west and north-south orientations, allowing developers to optimize power generation according to project conditions.

5.Installation & Operation

Efficient Construction and Maintenance

The flexible floating solar system is designed to simplify project deployment and long-term operation.

Shore-Based Assembly

System components can be pre-assembled on the shore and then deployed onto the water surface, reducing installation complexity and improving construction safety.

Safe Operation and Maintenance

Integrated maintenance walkways allow technicians to easily access photovoltaic modules for cleaning and inspection.

The floating system provides buoyancy capacity of approximately 150 kg/m², ensuring safe operation during maintenance.
