7.2MW Floating PV Project Commences Operations, Advancing Hainan's Green Energy Transition

Xiamen Solar First Energy Co., Ltd. has initiated construction of a 7.2MW floating photovoltaic installation in Lingao County, Hainan Province. Utilizing the typhoon-resilient TGW03 floating system, the project targets full-capacity grid connection by April 30. Upon completion, it will generate approximately 10 million kWh of clean electricity annually, accelerating local sustainable energy development.

Site-Adaptive Engineering: Overcoming Complex Hydrographic Challenges
Initial surveys revealed significant underwater terrain complexities:

    • Variable water depths

    • Substantial water-to-ground elevation differentials

    • Steep surrounding rock formations

Solar First engineered customized solutions:
    • Deep-water specialized flotation systems for structural integrity
    • Terrain-specific anchoring mechanisms for rock walls
    • Modular installation protocols addressing height variations

Storm-Resilient Technology: Engineering for Typhoon Conditions
Given Hainan's high typhoon frequency, the TGW03 system incorporates:

    1. Low-center-of-gravity design: Monolithic floatation molding enhances wind resistance

    2. Flexible inter-module connections: Elastic hinges absorb wave energy

    3. Intelligent monitoring: Real-time performance optimization and remote management

Project engineers confirm: "The system demonstrated 50m/s wind tolerance during testing, meeting Hainan's stringent safety standards."

Environmental Impact: Supporting Provincial Sustainability Goals
The installation will:

    • Power ≈4,000 households annually

    • Reduce CO₂ emissions by 8,000 metric tons

    • Minimize water evaporation while inhibiting algae growth

EPC representatives note: "As Hainan's inaugural deep-water rock wall PV demonstration project, this pioneers distributed energy deployment in challenging environments."

Accelerated Implementation: Targeted Grid Connection
Since March 10 commencement, construction teams have overcome seasonal rainfall and terrain constraints through:

    • Parallel assembly and anchoring workflows

    • Specialized floating PV installation crews

The EPC project manager confirms: "All resources are mobilized to ensure April 30 operational deadline."

Strategic Significance
This project demonstrates Solar First's technological innovation while supporting national carbon neutrality objectives. The successful implementation establishes a replicable model for nationwide floating PV development.

Solar First General Manager Ms. Zhou Ping affirmed: "We will expand Hainan's 'PV+' applications to further contribute to the Free Trade Port and National Ecological Civilization Pilot Zone development."
