Xiamen Solar First Group's Lingao County Floating Solar Project Successfully Connected to Grid, Earns Media Praise!

The floating photovoltaic power generation project in Bohou Town, Lingao County, Hainan Province, undertaken by Xiamen Solar First Energy Technology Co., Ltd., recently achieved full grid connection and generated power, garnering significant attention and praise from the local government and media. This project is not only the first photovoltaic power station in Lingao County to utilize an abandoned mine pond, but also represents another innovative practice for Xiamen Solar First in the green energy sector.

Revitalizing Abandoned Mines: Aquatic “Blue Armor” Illuminates Green Energy

Located at a disused mining pond in Bohou Town, the project spans 114.4 mu (7.6 hectares) with a total installed capacity of 5.8 MW. Over 10,000 solar panels float like orderly “blue armor” on the water surface, shimmering under sunlight to create an eco-synergistic model of "Power Generation on Water and Underwater Restoration”. The project utilizes a "Full Grid-connected" model, generating an average annual power generation of 9.66 million kWh, saving approximately 2,946.4 tons of standard coal annually and significantly reducing emissions of pollutants such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. This truly "Turns Waste into Treasure," transforming the abandoned mine pit into a continuous source of green electricity.



Overcoming Technical Challenges: Floating Systems Prove Their Worth

Building floating solar power plants is far more complex than land-based installations, requiring simultaneous fulfillment of three key requirements: buoyancy, stability, and tracking capability. Solar First successfully overcame installation challenges through its independently developed high-density polyethylene (HDPE) buoyancy system. This lightweight, durable material eliminates the need for heavy machinery, enabling swift construction with minimal environmental impact. Through floating connection and anchoring technology, the photovoltaic array maintains safe and stable operation even in extreme weather conditions such as typhoons and heavy rainfall.

Empowered by Technology, Solar First Drives Energy Transformation

As a national high-tech enterprise, Xiamen Solar First Energy Technology Co., Ltd. adheres to the development philosophy of "New Energy, New World," focusing on the research, development, and manufacturing of solutions such as solar photovoltaic systems, floating systems, and smart energy systems with source-grid-load-storage. The company holds six invention patents, over 60 utility model patents, and numerous international certifications. Its products and services are distributed nationwide and in over 100 countries and regions worldwide.

The success of the Lingao project not only demonstrates Solar First's technological strength but also demonstrates its commitment to the principle that "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets." Going forward, Solar First will continue to deepen its innovative R&D in renewable energy, promoting the implementation of more green projects such as “Photovoltaics + Restoration” and “Photovoltaics + Rural Revitalization”, and contributing further to the transformation of the global energy structure and sustainable development.
