Mibet launches offshore floating solar panel with sturdy aluminium alloy support legs

Mibet has recently unveiled its latest floating solar panel system, the G5, which represents the fifth iteration of its floating systems. The G5 boasts an impressive composition of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic floats and aluminium alloy support legs, ensuring exceptional weather resistance and safety.

The system's innovative design significantly reduces the likelihood of component cracking caused by wind and wave forces. The system's modular nature also allows for expansion in various configurations, including parallel or symmetrical double rows. Moreover, using aluminium and HDPE makes the structure feather light so that it might float effortlessly. 

The R&D centre head notes that the G5 has experienced significant performance advancements compared to previous generations of floating PV systems. The system can withstand wind gusts of over 60 m/s, snow loads of 1 kN/m2, and temperatures between -40 and +85°C. The system has been certified by reputable agencies such as TUV and SGS.

Mibet's floating PV mounting devices have been widely utilized in multiple water bodies since the discovery of their floating PV system in 2014. Furthermore, Mibet intends to employ the floating PV array to generate offshore photovoltaic energy and has partnered with the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation to launch a demonstration project for offshore floating photovoltaics.
