Innovative Floating Solar Trackers

Why Floating Solar?

Droughts, land scarcity and grid bottlenecks hold back traditional solar rollout. Reservoirs and idle water bodies offer gigawatts of untapped, grid‑connected potential while simultaneously mitigating evaporation in hybridized hydropower plants.

Our Vision and Mission

A Market Set To Soar

Conventional fixed floating arrays leave up to 25 % generation on the table. Nautracker’s single‑axis tracking adds up that yield while lowering Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). Combined with hydropower, floating PV maximizes utilization of amortized grid-connection infrastructure and allows for better economics of reverse pumping.

The floating‑PV market installed 3.2 GW worldwide by 2023 and is now accelerating at a 23.6 % CAGR towards 16.2 GW by 2030 – even the conservative scenario envisaged by DNV.

The U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) estimates that covering a fraction of existing reservoirs could unlock 861 GW of capacity, delivering nearly half the solar needed for a decarbonised U.S. grid by 2050.

Drivers include preservation of water bodies, leveraging hydro grid connections, and rapidly falling PV costs. Historically Asia led FPV deployment, but new environmental pressure and land‑use conflicts are catalysing growth in North America, Latin America and Europe. Nautracker’s high‑yield tracker makes FPV economically irresistible in these markets.

Committed to sustainability, we provide cutting-edge floating solar tracking technology that maximizes efficiency while promoting environmental protection and energy independence for 2050 decarbonization target

FAQ

Some frequently asked questions about our floating solar trackers

Field data show a 15‑23 % boost versus fixed FPV arrays, thanks to continuous alignment with the sun and lower operating temperatures over water.

Can the tracker withstand storms?

UL 61215 and IEC 62817 compliance is underway, with final testing scheduled for H2 2026

What certifications does Nautracker meet?

Pneumatic ballast and low‑profile stow minimise wind load. Simulations confirm stability in Category 1 hurricane conditions

A minimum draft of 3 m is recommended for optimal mooring tension; custom solutions exist for shallower basins.

What water depth is required?

How much extra energy does tracking provide on water?
