Abstract
The most powerful energy resource in nature is solar energy which becomes directly converted to electric power in worldwide. Most of the photovoltaic power plants are commonly installed on sunny side of the ground. Thus the installation of photovoltaic power plant could produce an unexpected adverse effect by sacrificing the productivity from green field or forest. To avoid these adverse effect floating photovoltaic plant has been devised and installed on inland reservoir. The photovoltaic plant could utilize ignored water surface without sacrificing the productivity of the ground. Additionally the photovoltaic efficiency has been reenforced by the cooling effect induced by the circulating air flow from water surface. The floating photovoltaic plant could be furnished solar tracking ability by tilting the system operated with the aid of the ballast system. This report is provided to introduce the design of the floating structure with solar panel which furnished solar tracking ability with the aid of ballast system.
