Back in Nov 2021 (see here) Israel installed its largest floating solar energy field, covering 112 acres of the Habonim reservoir. Israel’s Teralight (see here previously) has just exceeded that with a 145-acre field on the reservoir at Kibbutz Ma’ayan … Continue reading →

Several Israeli startups have developed solar panels that float on water (see here previously). Here is another – Xfloat. Its Artificial Intelligence controlled panels move and track the sun while floating. They will be installed on the water reservoirs of … Continue reading →

Nine months ago, Israel’s Xfloat (see here previously) began implementing its pilot floating solar power farms in northern Israel and has already begun to generate energy commercially. Xfloat believes solar panel growth will eventually move toward the sea, as available … Continue reading →

Israel’s Shikun & Binui Energy (see here previously) and the Hof Harcarmel Water Association have inaugurated Israel’s largest floating photovoltaic (PV) solar energy field. The 51,500 panels cover 112+ acres of the Habonim reservoir and can produce 23 megawatts of … Continue reading →

Another article about the floating solar panels from Israel’s Xfloat (see here previously). It contains a video showing the panels automatically tilting, to track the position of the sun as the earth rotates. https://nocamels.com/2023/10/catching-rays-floating-solar-panels-tilt-to-face-the-sun/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qMD1o96f_w

(Thanks to NoCamels) Israel’s Solaris Synergy has developed a floating solar power plant. It will be especially useful for countries (like Israel) that do not have a large land mass. Installed on reservoirs, the eco-friendly system reduces evaporation and build-up … Continue reading →
