First Floating PV Power Plant Operational in W. Azarbaijan

Iran’s first small-scale floating solar farm became operational in Mahabad Petrochemical Plant in West Azarbaijan Province on Tuesday, head of the company said.
“The floating photovoltaic plant will annually supply 200,000 kilowatt hours of electricity to the national power grid,” Abbas Farshbaf was quoted as saying by IRNA.
Paid for by petrochemical company, the panels mounted on floating platforms were designed, built and installed by Iranian engineers and technicians.
The panels are mounted on 400 square meters of an industrial lake for generating electricity, reducing environmental pollutants and controlling water evaporation.
