About
Xfloat is aiming to enhance the energy production output and improve the economics of floating solar projects. The company has created an intelligent water management system that controls water loads and pumps for accurate tilting and tracking. The company then refines the data collected from sensors, which is directed to a knowledge-based machine-learning process for predictive photovoltaic (PV) performance and operations and maintenance (O&M).
Dedicated supervisory control and data acquisition and optimization tools stream the data to improve tracking and O&M algorithms.
Xfloat's system has buoyancy tanks arranged in a grid of connected vessels that control the rotation of the PV tracking tables in unison. The system uses no motors or hydraulics. Instead of using gears to tilt the panels, it uses a flexible, hydrostatic positioning mechanism.
The electricity generated this way could be used by anyone, including industrial plants and private consumers.
