Floating solar mounting company Ciel & Terre has introduced Fusio, a new type of floating mounting system inspired by architectural principles in its triangular design. These floating triangular structures are installed in a honeycomb pattern to enhance stability and optimize weight distribution.

Compared to its flagship floating support Hydrelio, Fusio features a more compact design, easier logistics, and shorter delivery times, aiming to achieve larger-scale construction. Additionally, Fusio occupies a smaller project footprint while having taller solar panels, thereby increasing airflow. Ciel & Terre is collaborating with CEA to develop a digital model for predicting the gains of solar panels related to airflow cooling.

Considering the need for project maintenance, Ciel & Terre also developed a specially designed catamaran capable of navigating between rows of solar panels. Technicians can inspect modules, electrical equipment, and project cables aboard the vessel.

Ciel & Terre launched Hydrelio in 2011, and since its introduction, the mounting system has been installed in 1.4 GW of solar projects worldwide.
