Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), a state-owned company, announced India’s largest floating solar facility commissioning. In Andhra Pradesh, the project is near the Simhadri thermal power plant and covers up to 100 acres of water surface area.
The initiative will not only generate clean electricity but also minimize water evaporation by covering the water. In addition, due to the cooling impact of the water on the panels, it will produce more electricity than traditional ground-mounted solar installations. BHEL created this innovative floating array to satisfy the unique need of anchoring support structures without contacting or loading the reservoir floor.
The module array was constructed to withstand wind gusts of up to 112 mph. Because of the project’s seaside location, corrosion-resistant platform structures and other equipment were employed.
The solar array’s design and engineering, procurement and construction were all part of BHEL’s scope of work on the project. The project was carried out by its new solar business branch.
The installer provides engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for ground-mounted, rooftop, floating and canal-top solar installations. With a total solar EPC portfolio of more than 1.2 gigawatts, the company claims to have India’s largest floating solar portfolio. In addition to batteries and solar panels for space applications, BHEL manufactures space-grade batteries and solar panels.
The capabilities of solar are on display all over the world. Imagine what solar might do for your house or company if it could do this!
Solar energy is among the most plentiful sources of power. It can be caught and used in various ways, and it is a crucial component of our clean energy future as a renewable energy source.
The main barrier to the broad use of solar energy is its variability, which may be overcome by combining batteries with solar panels. Power consumption is highest generally around when the sun sets; solar panels are most efficient during the noon hours when power consumption is lowest.
Most solar system owners utilize the grid as a battery, sending excess power to the grid when their panels produce more than they consume. In most places, their utility provider credits customers for the energy they don’t use through Net Metering. The credit is then applied to the cost of surplus power used by homeowners when their use exceeds their production.
