Floating Solar: A Game-Changer for Australia's Energy, Water & Land Challenges
Unlock 700 kWp per floating ring, conserve water, free up land & accelerate your renewable energy goals.
We pay our respect to the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands and waters on which we work and live, and to Elders past, present, and emerging.
Why Australia Needs Floating Solar Now
Land Scarcity for Renewable Energy
-
Ground-mounted solar growth is slowing as prime land becomes scarce and expensive.
-
Only 6% of Australia’s land is arable and competition with agriculture & industry is intense.
-
Floating solar allows renewable deployment on underutilized water surfaces without costly land acquisition.
Water Scarcity & Evaporation
-
Australia loses billions of litres of water annually from reservoirs, dams, and ponds due to evaporation.
-
Floating solar systems significantly reduce evaporation, improve water quality by reducing algae growth, and protect valuable water supplies.
Accelerating Net-Zero Commitments
-
Australia must add 80+ GW of renewable capacity by 2050 to meet climate goals.
-
Floating solar can be deployed quickly and at scale, providing predictable, utility-grade renewable energy.
Who Can Benefit from Floating Solar?
Communities & Water Corporations
Councils, towns, water utilities with reservoirs, dams, and catchment areas.
Industrial & Commercial Operations
Mining companies, agribusiness, ports, refineries, manufacturing plants, data centers, and energy-intensive industries with water assets.
Tourism & Hospitality
Resorts, eco-lodges, and hotels near water bodies seeking cost savings and sustainability credentials.
Ports & Marine Operations
Port authorities, fisheries, marinas, and vessel operators looking for energy independence & future EV/boat charging capability.
