The floating power stations are designed to generate clean electricity and help Israel reach its goal of generating 30% of the country's electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030. The floating PV power stations can also reduce water loss due to evaporation.
With water shortages a constant concern in Israel, protecting bodies of water has become an important consideration when constructing floating PV power facilities. Sungrow FPV has addressed mechanical and weathering properties as well as the environmental performance of its products, which must meet safety standards for drinking water and the stringent requirements of Israel's water management laws and regulations.
Over 40 floating PV power stations are expected to generate 230 million kWh of clean electricity annually in Israel.
