An unusual solar power plant - the world's first vertical floating system with a capacity of 1.8 MW has been commissioned on a quarry lake in Bavaria.
The vertical orientation of the panels not only saves space, but also makes the installation storm-resistant.
The secret of the design, developed by the German company Sinn Power, is in the flexible cable attachment: the panels do not break in the wind, but bend slightly, reducing resistance and damping the waves.
The station occupies only 4.65% of the lake area, which is three times less than the legal limit.
Engineers also note environmental advantages: the design does not interfere with water circulation and light penetration, promotes oxygen saturation, and fish and waterfowl have already settled under the platforms, ecosphere.press reports.
The bill received proposals from regions, the Presidential Administration, the Security Council, federal agencies, public organizations, and nearly 1,500 citizen appeals.
The forum, which brought together experts from a wide range of industries, hosted approximately 50 business events across three thematic areas: economics and investment, architecture and integrated territorial development, and tourism and hospitality.
