Re: [RE-wrenches] Floatovoltaics

We've spoken with Isofloating a few times and have been pleased with their service and technical understanding of real-world challenges. Their US experience is not extensive, but the product seems solid and pricing is competitive. C&T seems to be a good option as

Hi Corey, Yep I have seen them up in Napa on a small lake. It seems very risky in the Caribbean. The only thing I want on a roof is gutters for rainwater. You can tell I am biased. Maybe someone else has better info. Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't" http://members.s

Re: [RE-wrenches] Floatovoltaics

Hi Dave, I was actually referring to a growing trend in the PV industry (particularly in Asia) to attach PV arrays - and also inverters in some cases - to floating pontoons and then install them on bodies of water. The systems are often referred to as floating PV (FPV) or "floatovoltaics". Here's

Re: [RE-wrenches] Floatovoltaics

I know both Schneider mppt's can be negative, positive, or ungrounded. Others must do this also. Is that what you are asking? They work as expected as far as I have seen. Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't" http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/ [1] e-mail offgridso...@st

Re: [RE-wrenches] Floatovoltaics

I have an opportunity to inspect one in California and there was alot wear and tear considering time in use. I believe it was due to water level fluctuations and movement. On Sat, Jun 13, 2020, 10:11 PM Corey Shalanski wrote: > I am curious if any Wrenches have experience with floating array (ak

[RE-wrenches] Floatovoltaics

I am curious if any Wrenches have experience with floating array (aka "floatovoltaic") systems? From the limited research I have done, there only appear to be a handful of solutions providers - mostly based in Europe or Asia. I'd be interested to hear any testimonies - good or bad - about your expe
