Fortlev Solar has presented Aquafort, a modular HDPE floating PV system for reservoirs, lakes, ponds and dams, at Intersolar South America 2026. The system supports M10 and M12 modules, features dedicated maintenance floats, and has a stated 25-year service life.
Brazil-based Fortlev Solar has presented Aquafort, a floating PV system developed for reservoirs, lakes, ponds and dams, at Intersolar South America 2026, held from Aug. 25 to 27 at Expo Center Norte in São Paulo.
The modular polyethylene structure uses central and walkway floats to support PV modules while providing access for maintenance crews during inspections and servicing.
The company said the system can withstand waves of up to 1 meter and wind speeds of up to 45 m/s. It said the system enables the use of water surfaces for power generation without foundations and offers resistance to corrosion and solar radiation.
The floating structures are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and are available in different configurations for module support, intermediate connections and maintenance access. The system includes four main float types – P01, P02, P03 and P04 – along with plastic fasteners, load diffusers, and front and rear module supports. The P04 float is designed to provide maintenance access within the floating array.
