Waterborn solar generators

摘要

A modular floating impermeable rectangular module, with a connective clustering and solar collector carrying capability. The modular configuration is applied to a water surface, in a synergetic combination for the solar generation of power and the prevention of evaporation and/or airborne water and particulate contamination of the water body. Each module is adapted to support a solar collection panel for converting solar energy into electrical energy in which each flotation module is formed from two half shells which connect together to form a module, the outer surfaces of at least one shell being adapted to support a solar collector and each module is adapted on two opposed edge sections for connection in line to form a chain of modules and each solar collector in said chain being connected in electrical series and each chain of modules being connectable laterally to form arrays of modules and each chain of solar collectors being electrically connected in parallel.
