Q CELLS to build floating solar plant on Hapcheon Dam in South Korea

• Solar (PV) solar cells manufacturer Q CELLS has actually revealed plans to construct a 41MW floating PV nuclear power plant, which will certainly be set up at the Hapcheon Dam in South Korea.

Solar (PV) solar cells producer Q CELLS has introduced strategies to build a 41MW floating PV nuclear power plant, which will certainly be set up at the Hapcheon Dam in South Korea.

In August, the firm won the rights from the Korea Water Resources Institute (K-Water) to establish the facility and safeguarded consent to develop earlier this month.

The Hapcheon Dam is located in the southern region of the nation.

Q CELLS means to start construction works at the website by the end of this year.

The firm noted that the floating solar PV plant will feature a combination of onshore solar modern technology and floating framework modern technology.

The plant will additionally have a plum blossom style, the symbolic blossom of Hapcheon-gun.

Q CELLS plans to install its Q.PEAK DUO Poseidon Edition photovoltaic panels at the Hapcheon Dam.

Especially designed for floating PV setups, the modules can withstand heats and humidity atmospheres.

Once finished, the center will be the biggest floating PV power plant on the planet built on a dam. It will additionally become the largest floating PV plant allowed in South Korea.

The Hapcheon Dam floating PV nuclear power plant will certainly have the capability to generate clean energy that will certainly suffice to fulfill the annual power requirements of 60,000 people.

Q CELLS CEO Hee Cheul Kim claimed: "This floating PV will generate green power by using the still water surface area at the dam.

" This is the most effective solution for using the limited land area in the region. Q CELLS will create the Hapcheon Dam floating PV power plant to the premium requirements for which the company is acknowledged worldwide."
