Floating Solar PV
WattNexx has an engineering team capable to delivering projects for one of the most challenging solar PV frontiers.
WattNexx boasts an engineering team that can successfully execute projects in one of the most demanding solar PV frontiers. Designing solutions for Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) systems requires specialized engineering expertise. Engineers constantly strive to explore new frontiers in sustainability. FPV represents one such frontier where we excel in deploying floating solar panels on water surfaces. Challenges unique to water environments, such as corrosion from humidity, varying wind speeds, hydrodynamic loads affecting anchor and mooring line design, as well as factors like location, water type, and predominant structures, heavily influence our solution designs.

Detailed technical review: Conducting a detailed technical review of floater manufacturers and suppliers involves evaluating their compliance with various international standards. This process includes:
Ensuring that the floaters meet quality standards such as ISO 9001 for manufacturing processes.
Assessing materials against standards like ISO 9227 for corrosion resistance and ISO 4892 for UV resistance.
Evaluating the design and load-bearing capacity according to standards such as IEC 61215 for mechanical performance.
Checking adherence to environmental standards like ISO 14001 to minimize ecological impact.
Verifying compliance with safety standards, including IEC 61730 for electrical safety and other relevant guidelines.
Reviewing results from tests like the IEC 62109 for operational performance under various conditions.
Ensuring that anchor and mooring systems comply with marine and hydrodynamic standards such as DNV GL guidelines.
Verifying that manufacturers possess necessary certifications from recognized bodies, ensuring global compliance.
This thorough review ensures that floater manufacturers and suppliers meet the stringent requirements necessary for reliable and durable FPV installations.
