This new floating solar farm follows the sun like a
flower
SolarisFloat's
Proteus solar panel array not only floats on water, but slowly turns to track
the sun across the sky.
A new solar power farm
prototype bobbing atop the waters of a large lake in the southwest Netherlands
is stalking the sun’s movements to make the most out of its energy capabilities.
As BBC News explained
yesterday, a company called SolarisFloat‘s
artificial island—dubbed Proteus after the Greek sea
god—is a 38-meter-wide circular system comprised of 180 interconnected modular
panels that not only produces around 70 kilowatts of peak power (kWp), but
makes the most of its position by slowly following the sun’s trajectory as it
arcs across the sky.
