Xfloat is attending the Solarplaza Floating Solar Summit this Thursday! Looking forward to meet with industry leaders and discussing the future of floating solar. Let’s connect! https://bit.ly/3Q8oVBx #FloatingSolar #RenewableEnergy #Xfloat #SolarplazaSummit

Many thanks to BASF Plastic Additives for highlighting Xfloat’s FPV tracker system project at Maayan Zvi and the novel use of Tinuvin® 2730 ED, which helps enhance the durability of floating solar systems, withstanding UV exposure and water contact for over 30 years while supporting Scope 2 CO2 reductions. A special thanks to Marie-Laure Bertet, Joseph Fay, and Marina Leed for sharing the insights! #Sustainability #FloatingSolar #RenewableEnergy #Innovation #Xfloat #BASF

We are pleased to share the release of our newly developed monitoring unit, which integrates multiple environmental sensors for comprehensive data analysis. This solution captures vital information such as location and exact positioning, radiation levels and weather conditions within a single cohesive system. Central to this box is a computing unit and cloud base system running AI algorithms which significantly enhance system availability and performance, ensuring reliable operation even under extreme weather conditions. This unit is a key component of our FPV system, marking a significant advancement in environmental monitoring technology. It sets new standards in accuracy and reliability, supporting smarter and more resilient solar energy solutions. We look forward to sharing further updates as we continue to innovate in the solar industry. #EnvironmentalMonitoring #DataAnalysis #ExtremeWeather #FPV #SolarEnergy

Enhancing Solar Panel Efficiency with Innovative Cleaning Techniques Naturally, when PV modules are covered with dust, bird droppings, or other debris, their ability to absorb sunlight is compromised, leading to decreased energy production. Studies have shown that dirty solar panels can lose up to 25% of their efficiency. Prevention measures and regular cleaning ensures maximum sunlight absorption, leading to higher energy output and better return on investment. Some of the recent innovative cleaning techniques that are being used on Xfloat FPV installations involve drones and robots. Some of the new cleaning drones tested handle battery and payload replacements and automatic water refills. The drones collect and analyze data in real time through encrypted cloud-based applications, ensuring effective and gentle cleaning of solar panels. For the more robust cleaning work, the company has been testing and adapting a few robotic cleaning systems that move directly over the panels. These robots are equipped with rotating brushes and water dispensers and are designed to be lightweight and agile. A few low-cost robots like these can clean extensive panel arrays without causing damage and can be easily transported from one raw to another, manually or by an autonomous robotic vehicle running on the main maintenance walkway. The robots can operate under various weather conditions and can be programmed to clean at regular intervals, ensuring the panels remain clean and efficient. #FPV #SolarEnergy #CleaningRobots #SolarPanelMaintenance

Xfloat is proud to announce the launch of a new project in collaboration with Zabar Solar | צבר סולאר: a 3.9 MWp Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) system in the Jezreel Valley, Israel. The project features an upgraded water head for the hydrostatic system, improved mooring lines for increased stability and durability, and a new design for the aluminum profile PV module harnessing. Additionally, new construction auxiliary components have been introduced to accelerate installation and improve the QA process. Follow for more news!

We're honored to share that Xfloat was featured in a recent video by the Israel Innovation Authority, showcasing our contribution to climate tech innovation. See the video here: https://lnkd.in/dAK5_5Ss
