Floating PV Mounting System

Our floating PV (photovoltaic) mounting systems use high-density polyethylene (HDPE) floats to support solar panels on lakes, reservoirs, and ponds. The modular float design creates a stable platform that reduces water evaporation and algae growth while generating clean energy. All components are UV-resistant and corrosion-proof for long-term water exposure.
