Tata Power Launches India's Largest Floating Solar Project
Tata Group's power company Tata Power Solar Systems has commissioned India's largest floating solar power project at 101.6 MW Peak (MWP) in the
backwaters of Kerala. The project is set up on a 350-acre water body in Kayamkulam, Kerala. To make this entire solar plant float on water, Tata Power Solar has constructed a platform on the water body.
The Floating Solar Photovoltaic (FSPV) through Power Purchase.Agreement project is the first of its kind. This facility is coupled with a floating inverter of 5 MW capacity.
This Central Monitoring and Control Station (CMCS) and 33/220 kV switchyard are supported by 134
cast pile foundations, up to 20 m.underwater depth. Its stretcher has been prepared under the dredging. system. These solar modules were subject to strong gusts and strong tides, often reaching heights of
