Problem

There is a 70% water deficit from the Santiago Metropolitan Region to the Maule Region, worsened by high evaporation rates in reservoirs.

Solution

Structural and mechanical design of the floating solar panel assembly, plus a remote monitoring system for water and energy gains.

Result

The electric power generated was on average 17.35% higher than on land, thanks to the cooling effect of the water, while also reducing evaporation.
