Upsolar (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary
of Upsolar (Shanghai, China), a provider of solar photovoltaic (PV)
modules and services, Koine, a design company specializing in floating
technology, and Upsolar's local installation partner CW, recently
deployed a floating PV system at Tengeh Reservoir in Singapore.
The PV system is part of the joint project overseen
by the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) and
spearheaded by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and PUB,
Singapore's National Water Agency, as part of Singapore's green
initiatives to assess the viability of using floating PV systems.
Upsolar is one of eight other companies selected to
install its PV panels that will eventually produce close to 100 kW of
electricity when connected to the national grid.
The panels are mounted on a floating structure
designed by Koine Multimedia, and the installation was conducted by CW
Group in October 2016.
The joint project aims at providing valuable
insights into the cost, benefits and challenges of floating PV systems
where SERIS will analyze the solar PV system, and PUB will study the
effects on the surrounding water environment.
