🌞 Sao Paulo inaugurates a 7 MW floating solar plant! 🏭🌊 The city of Sao Paulo, Brazil has recently inaugurated a 7 MW floating solar plant. Located on a reservoir created by a dam in Sao Paulo, the plant is equipped with 20,680 solar panels that are designed to float on the water's surface. This innovative approach to solar energy generation not only makes use of untapped space but also helps to reduce evaporation from the reservoir. With an expected annual energy production of 10,000 MWh, this floating solar plant is a significant step towards diversifying Brazil's energy mix and promoting sustainable development. The project is a collaboration between the local government, a consortium of energy companies, and various research institutions. Floating solar plants offer several advantages over traditional land-based solar installations. They can help to overcome land constraints, reduce water evaporation, and increase energy efficiency due to the cooling effect of the water. As such, they have the potential to play a crucial role in meeting the growing energy demands of densely populated cities. #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #Sustainability #Innovation #Brazil #FloatingSolar #EnergyTransition Read more about this exciting project here: [link to article]
