The PROTEVS system is a unique solar farm located in the Netherlands, where the panels are floating on a lake. It may not have the highest power output, with a capacity of 73 kW, compared to the largest farm in China at 320 MW. However, it has other advantages that make it stand out in the industry. One of the main benefits of the PROTEVS system is its unique design. Unlike other floating solar power plants, the PROTEVS system is able to move with the water and adjust to the sun’s position, increasing its efficiency. This means that it can generate more power per square meter than traditional solar farms. Additionally, by placing the panels on water, PROTEVS can save land for other uses, such as agriculture. Over the past decade, the total power output of photovoltaic cells worldwide has increased twelvefold. This trend is expected to continue, with existing capacity needing to increase sixfold by 2030 in order to stay on track for zero emissions. This means that large solar farms will occupy an area six times larger than they do now. As the world’s population continues to grow and the threat of a food crisis looms, it becomes increasingly important to use land efficiently. By placing solar panels on water, the PROTEVS system is able to generate power without taking up valuable land resources. This can be seen as a viable solution to address the challenge of increasing solar power production while preserving land for other crucial uses.SolarisFloat takes part of Large Scale Solar EU Virtual Summit, participating in the discussion panel “THE FUTURE OF EUROPEAN FLOATING SOLAR”.

On November 25th at CET (GMT -01:00), SolarisFloat’s General Manager will join a panel of high-level experts on Floating Solar to discuss strategies and approaches for the future of the Floating PV business.

This three-day online virtual summit promoted by Solar Media gathers 50+ high-level experts from all over the world to discuss the several aspects of the Solar within Renewable Energies Market.

Visit us on our booth for immersive approach of PROTEVS, SOLARISFLOAT Floating PV innovative solution, that its unique tracking system provide the best optimization of the output generated energy.

“Os Melhores do Portugal Tecnológico” ( The Best of Technological Portugal )

It is with enormous recognition that SOLARISFLOAT was awarded with an Honorable mention in the category “Inovação – Pedro Oliveira” ( Innovation – Pedro Oliveira ) in this year’s edition of “Os Melhores do Portugal Tecnológico” ( The Best of Technological Portugal ) by Exame Informática and Visão, one of the most prestigious News Magazines in Portugal.
We believe that PROTEVS®, our Portuguese Technology Solution in the Floating Photovoltaic can provide high benefits to this Renewables Energy area.
Thank you to all our partners that continuously work with us in order to help us to achieve this important recognition.

The floating solar panels that track the sun – BBC NEWS

SolarisFloat built PROTEVS® as a pilot project to test a cutting-edge technology and analyze how it drives clean energy production. This prototype eventually put SolarisFloat in a position to be a finalist for the European Inventor Award in 2022.

In the search for space for large solar arrays, many countries are looking to floating systems. On a lake in the Netherlands, a glowing circular island floats, covered by 180 glowing solar panels. This is no ordinary solar array, the PROTEVS® panels rotate slowly on two axes, using mechanical, geospatial, and light sensors to accurately track the elevation of the sun’s path as it moves from east to west.

This technology is a small initiative in a world trying to shift rapidly to renewable energy, but SolarisFloat considers that this installation could be scaled up to generate large amounts of clean electricity – and, crucially, without taking up valuable land. SolarisFloat believes that “renewable energy production will increase around the world (…) much more on water than on land.” Why? Because land is becoming a very precious commodity.”

It seems clear that this small SolarisFloat installation, PROTEVS®, is the future of floating solar, with the global market expected to grow by a fifth over the next eight years. We truly believe that Floating PV can make a difference.

SolarisFloat consolidates its internationalization strategy with the granting of new patents.

admin — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 14:29:00 +0000

SolarisFloat has been strengthening its international strategy by investing in the registration of patents in strategic markets. This is the case for USA, a highly qualified and key market in the floating photovoltaics solar scene, where the company has already granted the concession of the 2nd patent in less than 1 year.

In the European market, SolarisFloat has granted a patent to 18 EU countries. In South Africa, the PROTEVS® solution has already achieved the registration of 4 patents, with another 4 in force in countries of OAPI (Organization Africaine de la Propriété Intellectuelle).

The granting of these patents reinforces the investment strategy in R&D and the recognition of the added value that intellectual property brings to PROTEVS®.

The recognition in different markets positions SolarisFloat‘s solution on a high competition level.
