Innovation and Global Adoption of Floating Photovoltaic Solar from Concept to Realisation in Australia by Geoff Fussell

Lismore City Council is leading Australia as the first Water Treatment Plant to adopt Ciel et Terre Hydrelio© patented modular floating solar system developed in 2011.

HYDRELIO© systems global adoption now covers 22 countries in 5 continents with

Lismore Project Facts

Largest floating solar project in Australia (100 kW)

1st HYDRELIO© modular float technology project in Australia System is scalable in size and configuration Design for future expansion to 400kW

1st HYDRELIO© system in the world to utilize a safety access zone and walkway with handrails. Design and product development by Australia for Australia

5th project in the world to utilize a computerised bird deterrent laser

Australia is the 22nd country to install a HYDRELIO © system which now totals 90 solar farms globally

CONSTRUCTION 1200 x Hydrelio floats 280 x 355 Wp photovoltaic solar modules 15 x on shore and in water anchors and restraining system Locally contractors for plant and labour services and suppliers for materials Prime Contractor project manager travel expenses support local business

Hydrelio© Floating Solar System - Modular Design

Australia leads the world driving product

development and adoption of a safe area

and walkway for access and maintenance

Install the PV generation close to the grid or electrical load

(water treatment plant, irrigation pumps)

Utilize unused water surfaces

Conserve valuable land

Conserve water

Reduce water evaporation

Reduce algae growth

PV panels operate cooler over water allows higher PV output
