Sun over sewage Germany's largest retractable canopy made of solar panels with a capacity of 2.75 MW is being built in Stuttgart. The structure of 5,280 modules will cover ventilation tanks with an area of 17.5 thousand square meters. from. The main feature of the system is its mobility: during hail, snow or strong winds, the panels are folded and moved aside during planned repairs. This frees up space for operating cranes, with the help of which heavy pumps and fans are lifted from the bottom of the pools. After its activation in 2027, the facility will supply approximately 9% of the facility's electricity needs. Similar systems are already in use in Switzerland (in the city of Ottendorf) and in Germany (Frankfurt am Main). However, in global practice, a simpler option is often chosen - floating solar power plants installed directly on the surface of the reservoirs. For example, in Healdsburg, California, solar modules on municipal wastewater treatment plant ponds cover nearly half of their energy consumption. Currently, water treatment facilities make up about a quarter of all floating solar power plants in the world. High voltage in Telegram | up to MAX.
