Floating Solar Panel Farms Offer Solution to Land Constraints

[Jason]

In Japan where land is limited, floating solar panels could make renewable energy goals attainable. Two companies Kyocera Corporation and Century Tokyo Leasing Corporation have plans for implementation of a huge solar system on the surface of two reservoirs to start operating April. One of these systems will be 1.7 megawatts and the other 1.2 megawatts. This could help Japan become less dependent on nuclear power and set an example for out-of-the-box clean energy production.

At least it will create jobs - panel cleaning jobs

I like that idea. Real estate is a premium in Japan so why not use open flat spaces like ponds and lakes as long as the array can handle the environment.

Did anyone see the 70MW solar array in Kagoshima harbor. It is huge!!!

A mW of power is zip, zero, nada on an industrial scale - maybe this is one of the greenwash programs.

At least give credit for that statement to Jason instead of just a copy and paste.

You drank the Kool-Aid. 1.7 Mw is a drop of water in the ocean and contributes nothing.

Only the first sentence is his. The 2nd is C&P the last line of the article.

Actually, the first sentence is a quote from the lead of the article too.

Hi All,

May I know what is the concept for a floating solar earthing and lightning in a lake?

On a separate event, say if someone accidentally drop a dc live cable into the water during maintenance, what would be the the safe distance to secure to prevent anyone from electrocuted and how do we solve the touch potential?

Thanks in advance! Cheers.

What Danger or Touch Potential? Solar panels are current sources, and as long as you keep nominal voltages 50 volts or less, there are no grounding requirements or any danger. It only get dangerous if you ground the system. Just like your car or truck, no earth ground required and foolish if you tried. .
