Summary:

The floating photovoltaic power generation project located in Bohou Town, Lingao County, Hainan Province, constructed by Xiamen Solar First Energy Technology Co., Ltd., has recently accomplished full grid integration and commenced electricity generation, earning considerable recognition and commendation from both local authorities and media outlets. This initiative stands as the first power station in Lingao County to repurpose a discarded mining pond, and marks yet another innovative endeavor by Xiamen Solar First within the green energy sector.

Breathing New Life into Disused Mining Sites: Aquatic “Blue Arrays” Power Green Energy Transition

Situated on a former mining pond in Bohou Town, the project covers an area of 114.4 mu (approximately 7.6 hectares) and boasts a total installed capacity of 5.8 MW. More than 10,000 solar panels are deployed like meticulously arranged “blue arrays” across the water’s surface, glistening under the sun and forming an eco-friendly synergy of “Power Generation Above Water and Ecological Restoration Below”. Utilizing a comprehensive grid-tied approach, the project is projected to yield an average annual electricity output of 9.66 million kWh, saving around 2,946.4 tons of standard coal per year while substantially cutting emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and other pollutants. This effectively transforms neglected land into a sustained supplier of clean energy, exemplifying the principle of turning “waste into wealth”.

 

Tackling Technical Hurdles: Floating Systems Demonstrate Superior Performance

Constructing floating solar power facilities involves considerably greater complexity than ground-mounted systems, as they must simultaneously satisfy three critical conditions: buoyancy, stability, and sun-tracking functionality. Solar First effectively addressed these installation difficulties through its in-house developed high-density polyethylene (HDPE) floating platform system. This lightweight yet robust material eliminates dependence on heavy machinery, allowing efficient installation with very limited environmental disruption. By means of interconnecting flotation and secure anchoring technologies, the photovoltaic array remains reliably stable even under severe weather events including typhoons and torrential rain.
 

Technology-Driven Innovation: Solar First Propels Energy Transition

As a nationally certified high-tech enterprise, Xiamen Solar First Energy Technology Co., Ltd. upholds the development vision of “New Energy, A New World”, dedicating itself to the R&D and production of integrated solutions including solar photovoltaic systems, floating structures, and smart energy systems incorporating generation, grid, load, and storage applications. The company possesses six invention patents, more than 60 utility model patents, and multiple international certifications. Its products and services are supplied across China and exported to over 100 countries and regions worldwide.
 

Conclusion

The accomplishment of the Lingao project not only reflects Solar First’s technical expertise, but also embodies its dedication to the belief that “Clear waters and green mountains are as valuable as gold and silver.” Moving forward, Solar First will continue to advance its innovation in renewable energy, facilitating the implementation of additional green initiatives such as “PV + Ecological Remediation” and “PV + Rural Revitalization”, thereby contributing even further to the global shift in energy infrastructure and sustainable development.
