Technology

Overview

SOLATUS is a tracker-type floating solar photovoltaic system to maximize energy production by changing the inclination & azimuthal angle of its solar photovoltaic array according to the route of the moving sun, functioning to combine a sun-tracking technique and a floating structure along with mooring device on the water surface above the dam and reservoir

Effects

  • Develops proprietary technologies to achieve technical dominance
  • Encourages the mutual growth of solar power industry
  • Increases the efficient use of land
  • Six floating solar power plants are expected to produce the power generation revenue of KRW 7,814 million annually.
  • The power generation is 23% higher than that of a fixed-type floating solar power plants

Applications

  • The floating solar power plant in Hapcheon Dam started operation on December 2013.
  • 1,200MW floating solar power plants will be developed in 12 dams, including Sihwa Lake, by 2022.
