Application: Floating photovoltaic installation (Patent ID: US20240204719A1)
The patent filed by Electricite de France SA describes a floating photovoltaic installation designed to generate electricity. The installation includes two photovoltaic modules aligned along a single axis, separated by a distance allowing passage between them, and a reflector with opposite ends attached to the bearing structures of the modules. The reflector is a reflecting tarpaulin and is capable of supporting the weight of a person moving between the modules.
Additionally, the patent details various configurations and features of the photovoltaic installation, such as the use of monofacial or bifacial photovoltaic panels, the design of the bearing structures to raise the panels above the reflector, and the assembly of the reflector to the bearing beams of the modules. The reflector is also designed to prevent water accumulation and can extend between two rows of photovoltaic modules to maximize efficiency. Overall, the patent outlines a novel floating photovoltaic system that combines efficient energy generation with practical design elements.
