Floating solar for water, landfills and peatland
Floating solar panels offer higher efficiency, reduced evaporation, longer service life and positive environmental benefits – without occupying valuable land.
Benefits of floating solar panels
We believe that innovation and profitability are the best paths to a sustainable future. Our goal is to create products that make a difference and to be part of the solution for more sustainable energy production.
No Land Use
Up to 4× more area-efficient design than ground-mounted solar panels, equivalent to 1.6 MW per hectare – without occupying any land.
Preserves Water Resources
2,740 m³ of water saved per hectare annually through reduced evaporation.
Higher Output
Up to 15% higher efficiency than rooftop or ground-based systems, thanks to reflection and cooling from the water.
Reduced Evaporation
Floating solar panels lower water temperature and slow algae growth. The result is cleaner water and reduced eutrophication.
Reduced Fire Risk
Placement on water eliminates building fire risks and provides natural cooling that extends the system's service life.
Patented Technology – PowerModule™ & PeatModule™
Sunsurf Solar's solutions are designed for optimal performance under the challenging conditions of the Nordic climate. The technology is engineered to meet high requirements for temperature, ice formation, snow and strong winds. PowerModule™ is our patented solution for floating solar panels on leachate ponds, irrigation ponds and artificial water surfaces. PeatModule™ is our patented solution for solar panels on landfills, peatlands and wetlands – sites with the most demanding ground conditions.
