Planning, Installation, and Commissioning
Since October, Intech has been constructing a floating photovoltaic system on the Waldsee lake of a gravel pit near Speyer, Germany. The goal is to make efficient use of unused water surfaces for sustainable on-site power generation.
In the first construction phase, a south-facing installation with a capacity of 750 kWp was implemented. The system consists of 2,527 floaters supporting 2,272 PV modules and seven inverters, covering a water surface of approximately 8,000 m².
All inverters and the monitoring system are housed in a central technical container onshore, ensuring safe and easy-to-maintain operation.
Key Features
- Modular Construction with Intech Floaters
Durable and long-lasting HDPE floaters “Made in Germany”, compatible with standard PV modules, equipped with integrated walkways for safe maintenance. - Central Technical Platform
All inverters and monitoring equipment are installed in a shore-based container, offering easy access and enhanced operational safety. - Maintenance-Friendly Design
A 15° tilt angle provides a natural self-cleaning effect, while integrated walkways allow for convenient inspection and cleaning. - Scalability
The system is expandable up to 1.5 MWp, making it a flexible solution that can grow with the site’s energy needs.
