Singapore to set up floating solar project

Singapore is to set up its first floating solar system, at a cost of US$11 million (€8.0 million) the project will be located in an area of the western Tengeh Reservoir where the water is calm. This is to overcome Singapore’s land constraints: Solar panels need large land mass to generate a large amount of energy. In Singapore, they are usually built on rooftops.Speaking at the third Solar Pioneer Awards ceremony, where he was the guest of honour, Mr Tan said he was optimistic that "local solar adoption will continue to proliferate, driven by factors such as increased local capabilities, innovation and government support."

  1. Japan's FiT in July is among the highest in the world. It's clear that Japan's FiT will shake the solar market. Singapore has the same options. New solar technology will show with these nations. This is it!
    As you know, earthquake in japan is happening frequently. Floating solar panels installation is one of the best solutions for power crisis in Japan. So you have to reduce the vibration to install Floating solar panels. Because, it makes many kinds of problems! The vibrations caused by wind, waves and external forces. New Floating Body Stabilizer for Floating solar panels installation has been created in South Korea. The Floating Body Stabilizers generate drag force immediately when Floating solar panels are being rolled and pitched on the water. Recently, this Floating Body Stabilizers using to reduce the Vibration of Floating Solar Panels in South Korea. You can see New Floating Body Stabilizer videos in YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moO--q5B92k, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA_xFp5ktbU&feature=youtu.be.
