Duke Energy has deployed 1,872 floating solar panels on a 1,200-acre cooling pond at the Hines Energy Complex near Bartow, Florida. The bifacial panels, mounted on buoyant platforms, utilize existing water infrastructure, eliminating the need for additional land. This dual-use approach enhances efficiency by generating renewable energy while maintaining the pond's cooling function for the plant's turbines.
The floating solar array demonstrates a creative solution to land constraints and aligns with broader trends in maximizing resource efficiency in renewable energy projects.
Why this matters to you: Competitors are adopting innovative solar solutions that could shift market expectations. Exploring similar dual-use opportunities could expand your SolarTogether program's appeal and scalability.
