As the demand for data centers accelerates, the energy challenge extends beyond clean generation. It’s about rapid deployment. Given the unsustainability of lengthy timelines for transmission infrastructure and substation approvals, floating solar emerges as a scalable and efficient solution perfectly suited to address the immediate need.
Why Floating Solar Stands Out
Here’s why floating solar stands out as the ideal choice:
- Deploys conveniently near site, bypassing strained transmission infrastructure
- Solves land constraint by leveraging existing water resources like basins and ponds
- Offers swift implementation, with streamlined permitting and ease of installation
- Strengthens ESG commitments through water conservation, optimized energy, and land preservation
At AccuSolar, we manufacture floating solar systems that can be deployed on-site or nearby. These systems deliver clean energy directly to data centers without needing to tap into constrained high-voltage transmission networks.
Can Floating Solar Scale to Meet Data Center Demands?
Addressing the critical need for consistent, high-capacity power in data centers, our company offers a deployable solution already in successful execution. Our 65,000 sq ft U.S. manufacturing plant produces modular floating photovoltaic systems designed for large-scale installations.
Capitalizing on the extensive experience of our parent company, AccuDock, we have developed an efficient domestic supply chain. This facilitates rapid production for projects ranging from 500 kW and up.
Our Methodology for Handling Production Capacity
Scalable Manufacturing
Our flexible, high-capacity production lines meet high-demand projects with minimal lead time. Our manufacturing processes don’t require molds or long lead time equipment to scale. Current capabilities push our output to over 100MW annually.
Established Supplier Network
We have developed strong, reliable partnerships with domestic suppliers of raw materials necessary for production. All vendors are vetted ensuring quick and dependable sourcing. They have confirmed component capacity to meet our production requirements.
Modular Design, Streamlined Logistics
AccuSolar floating solar systems facilitate rapid shipping and streamlined assembly. This ensures timely completion with minimal complexity. The overall floating solar system relies on readily available third-party components for all electrical designs.
Addressing Transmission Bottlenecks for Data Centers
To overcome substantial multi-year delays associated with substation expansion, we are designing innovative floating solar arrays for several data centers in a growing regional cluster. Planned for installation on adjacent retention ponds, this solution offers a near-term pathway to peak load offset and significant demand charge reduction.
These installations don’t require transmission upgrades. By pursuing this approach, our clients can accelerate operational timelines and avoid significant infrastructure costs.
Take Action Now
If your project is facing interconnection delays or utility timelines are holding back progress, floating solar could provide the fastest solution. From project feasibility and permitting to final installation, we support you every step of the way with no handoffs and no delays.
