Over Canals
Solar Waves can turn irrigation canals and water corridors into productive solar power infrastructure. Deployed above the canal using rail or cable-suspended systems, Solar Waves generates power while helping shade exposed water surfaces to reduce evaporation.
Four characteristics that make Solar Waves unique.
Type 1: Narrow Water Canals
Rail-mounted systems suit smaller irrigation canals where the appliance can be positioned above water while preserving maintenance movement. The array can be simply folded back to access the canal.
Type 2: Wide Water Canals
Cable-suspended configurations allow wider canal spans. While suspended in the air, bridges between the solar panels allow for maintenance access.
Canal and PV Access
Access logic is designed into the deployment model so inspection, and service requirements can remain part of normal canal operations.
Adjustable Support System
The deployment strategy stays the same, folding out the waves of PVs on the support system. Just the supports change.
Pre-assembled in the factory for rapid field deployment.
The deployment strategy follows the same logic across site types: build more in the factory, reduce field work, adapt the support interface, and simplify operation.
Containerised transport
Solar Waves is designed to ship efficiently in standard containers. Each MegaWave is assembled and packed at the factory to simplify transport, reduce logistics cost, and support repeatable rollout.
Rapid site deployment
Solar Waves arrives pre-built and pre-wired, reducing site labour and shortening installation time compared with conventional solar systems.
Adjustable support systems
The same Solar Waves appliance can be installed on different support systems depending on the land, structure, span, or water conditions of the site.
Low-maintenance operation
Solar Waves is designed to reduce maintenance complexity through durable materials, simpler access, and integrated cleaning features.
