The system is widely used in utility-scale floating photovoltaic projects around the world.

3.System Components

Core Components of the Floating Solar Mounting System

A complete floating photovoltaic mounting system consists of several engineered components that work together to ensure system stability and performance.

· Floating Platforms

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) floaters provide buoyancy and support for the entire solar array. These materials offer excellent resistance to UV radiation, corrosion, and environmental aging.

· Structural Support Framework

Support structures made of galvanized magnesium-aluminum steel (S350GD) provide high structural strength while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance.

· Stainless Steel Fasteners

All bolts, nuts, and washers are manufactured using 304 stainless steel, ensuring long-term durability in outdoor environments.

· Anchoring System

The anchoring system secures the floating solar array to the water body, preventing movement caused by wind or water currents.

· Maintenance Walkways

Integrated walkway floaters provide safe access for maintenance personnel, enabling efficient inspection and system operation.

4.Key Product Advantages

Engineering Advantages of Foner Floating Solar Systems

· High Structural Strength

The system uses reinforced structural design capable of withstanding wind speeds up to 50 m/s and snow loads up to 1.5 kN/m², ensuring reliable performance under extreme environmental conditions.

· Modular Installation Design

The modular floating structure allows rapid on-site installation without heavy construction equipment. Pre-assembled components significantly reduce installation time and labor costs.

· Excellent Corrosion Resistance

HDPE floaters and corrosion-resistant structural materials ensure long-term durability in water environments.

All exposed metal components are treated with anti-corrosion coatings and salt-spray resistance testing.

· Optimized Transportation Efficiency

The compact modular design allows higher container loading efficiency, reducing international transportation costs for large-scale projects.

· Flexible System Layout

The floating solar mounting system supports multiple module arrangements, including north-south and east-west orientations, allowing project developers to optimize energy generation based on site conditions.

5.Installation & Operation

Efficient Installation and Maintenance

The floating solar mounting system is designed to simplify construction and reduce installation time.

Shore-Based Assembly

Most system components can be assembled on the shore before being deployed onto the water surface, reducing construction complexity.

High Installation Efficiency

Under typical installation conditions, a team of approximately 15 workers can install up to 200 kW of floating solar capacity per day.

Easy Operation and Maintenance

Integrated walkways allow maintenance personnel to safely access solar panels for cleaning, inspection, and repair.

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