Foam-backed Floating Solar Panel System on Frozen Pond
Sector: Chemical (Industrial) • Location: Ontario, Canada

A pilot project in Ontario, Canada tested a 7-kilowatt foam-backed floating photovoltaic system on a stormwater pond. The system used semi-flexible monocrystalline solar modules placed on thick closed-cell polyethylene foam slabs, combined with an air-bubbler system to prevent ice formation and damage during winter. The system generated electricity throughout the cold season and produced about 7,7

Description
Description | A pilot project in Ontario, Canada tested a 7-kilowatt foam-backed floating photovoltaic system on a stormwater pond. The system used semi-flexible monocrystalline solar modules placed on thick closed-cell polyethylene foam slabs, combined with an air-bubbler system to prevent ice formation and damage during winter. The system generated electricity throughout the cold season and produced about 7,700 kWh annually, demonstrating the feasibility of floating solar power in cold climates. |
