Ibiden's Floating Solar Mounting System Features High Stability

'Weight' of water around edges

When installing the floats, a few rows not mounted with solar panels are arranged along the edges. These floats are used as passages for walking during inspection and are also essential as measures for protection from strong winds.
The rows close to solar panels are reversed for installation. The reverse surface is lined with grooves to improve walking comfort.
The components in the outermost row are filled with water instead of resin foam and are tilted so that the edge remains in the water. One main unit is filled with about 80kg of water, which functions as a weight, so half of the unit remains under the water surface, preventing the components rising due to strong winds, according to the company.

The solar panels are installed at an angle of 10 degrees, and plates are laid out behind panels to adjust the installation angle and prevent strong winds blowing in from behind the panels.
