The large-scale Hydrelio Floating Solar PV system features 200kW of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels across its brand new 60 million liter irrigation reservoir near Wargrave.
The system is an innovative, reliable and cost effective alternative to ground and roof mounted solar installations with numerous economical and environmental benefits, reports Solar UK.
Floating Solar UK CEO and founder Mark Bennett said: "The launch of our new installation signals what we hope is a revolutionary new alternative for owners of large used, and unused, bodies of water who are wanting to generate both renewable energy and sustainable income.
"The technology is durable, cost effective and so flexible that it only took us a week to install a 200KW system with over 800 floating panels."
The HYDRELIO Floating Solar PV system has been developed by French company Ciel et Terre while Floating Solar Panel is the first official and agreed distributor of the Hydrelio technology in the UK.
Ciel et terre president Alexis Gaveau said: "We are delighted to have chosen Floating Solar UK as our official partner to take this technology to market and look forward to seeing it being adopted further across the UK."
