4 FAQs about Reservoir solar power generation guardrail

Why should you install solar panels over a reservoir surface?

Apart from harvesting renewable energy from the sun, there are additional benefits of installing such systems over the reservoir surface, which include reducing water evaporation, suppressing algae growth, saving precious land resources and yielding a higher solar panel power generation efficiency.

Will a large-scale floating solar PV system affect Tengeh Reservoir's water quality?

The results showed that deploying a large-scale floating solar PV system would have minimal impact on the reservoir's water quality, flora and fauna, with appropriate planning and design. Hence, PUB decided to build a large-scale 60MWp floating solar PV system on Tengeh Reservoir.

Can floating solar PV systems be deployed at reservoirs?

PUB started studying the feasibility of deploying floating solar PV systems at reservoirs in 2011 to assess their solar potential and possible environmental impacts.

How can solar panels improve hydropower plants with reservoirs?

It can enhance the productivity of hydropower plants with reservoirs. An additional benefit of the solution is the amount of the available water surfaces for placing the solar panels, instead of potentially useful areas for other purposes (agriculture, buildings ).
