According to the company on Monday, it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. (KHNP), Hanwha Solar Power, and solar developer Solkiss to jointly develop a solar power station that floats on water and rotates following to the sun’s movement.
Under the agreement, Hanwha Q Cell will install an 80 megawatt solar power generating facility on a reservoir in Korea. The location has not yet been decided.
A rotating-based floating solar power station is a new form of power facility that combines floating type structure with ground-based solar energy generation technology. Industry insiders note that the new rotating floating type is able to produce 10 to 20 percent more electricity compared to floating facilities by applying rotary technology in which panels are designed to follow the movement of the sun like sunflowers.
Hanwha Q Cell will be responsible for module supply as well as overall planning, procuring, and building, while Hanwha Solar Power will be in charge of securing project developing funds and investing in shares. The state-run KHNP will take part in the project by supporting project management, raising funds, and purchasing renewable energy certificate (REC) while Solkiss will be responsible for providing patent technology and supplying floating structures.
The parties plan to jointly export the facility in the future while expanding its local business.
