Renewable hydropower energy solution for dam reservoirs and lakes
SINN Power launched its new floating PV solution, the Water Lily. SINN Power transferred its long-term experience with floating power plants in maritime environments to calm waters. The new floating structure of the Water Lily is a sustainable and highly cost-efficient platform, developed with corrosion resistant and nearly fully recyclable materials.
Building on its expertise in developing the Ocean Hybrid Platform, SINN Power launched a Floating PV Solution for renewable electricity generation on calm waters – the Water Lily. The product introduction event was held in Gauting, Greater Munich area, close to the company’s headquarters. In combination with SINN Power’s IP68-rated power electronics ModTroniX, the Water Lily represents a highly economical renewable energy turnkey solution.
The novel freshwater floating solar platform Water Lily comes with compelling benefits:
- The parts have a super pack size and can be segmented for transport. This reduction of components’ volume results in cost-optimized shipping in 20′ ISO containers, less needed storage space on-site and easier installation.
- The components of the floating structure are made of aluminium alloys. Consequently, the Water Lily is insusceptible for corrosion and nearly fully recyclable.
- As SINN Power originally comes from development of offshore solutions, the Water Lily is optimized in terms of robustness, stability, durability and economy.
Due to scarcity of land, floating photovoltaic systems are a perfect renewable energy solution for hydropower dam reservoirs, sand pit lakes, open-pit lakes, mining lakes, aquaculture farms, industrial waste water and other lakes – there are numerous application possibilities.
Following SINN Power’s mission in mitigating climate change CEO Dr. Philipp Sinn argues: “There is a huge demand for renewable electricity due to the phase out of fossil fuels. Urgent action is needed to close this gap. The Water Lily will contribute to exploit the potential for electricity generation on calm waters. In doing so, SINN Power plans first projects in 2022.”
SINN Power GmbH
SINN Power offers energy solutions to provide access to clean electricity for people worldwide, especially those living near the coast, in remote areas or on waterfronts. SINN Power supports sustainable development and aims to make a lasting positive contribution to the planet.
In 2014, Dr. Philipp Sinn founded the company SINN Power based on intensive years of academic research. The vision was and still is to create the most efficient renewable energy technology of the 21st century by harnessing the potential of energy generation from the ocean.
Today, SINN Power develops and markets sustainable power generation technologies designed for harsh and maritime environments. With its scalable, versatile floating Ocean Hybrid Platform (OHP) and power electronics, SINN Power provides the ideal components for homegrown wave power plants. In addition, these components enable the seamless integration of other sustainable generation technologies such as photovoltaics and small wind turbines into the SINN Power system, offering diverse floating load and platform solutions, as well as its own smart grid called ModTroniX.
