Indonesia’s largest floating solar panel farm is now up and running at Bawah Reserve in the Anambas archipelago. What's the best way to get electricity to a private island? Build a floating solar sustainable energy solution, of course! We are frequently asked how we provide electricity to our islands.  In fact, solar energy has always been an important part of our [sustainable operations](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/sustainability-at-bawah-reserve?hsLang=en). For example, all hot water to our suites and [overwater bungalows](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/overwater-bungalows-top-of-the-accommodation-charts-why?hsLang=en) is supplied by roof solar panels. Then we thought: why stop there? So we got talking to the experts at [Swimsol,](https://swimsol.com/) a leading solar energy company in the Maldives and a global leader in offshore photovoltaics (PV), about its [SolarSea](https://swimsol.com/#lagoon) commercial renewable energy product. Now, after a pandemic-related two-year delay, we are finally the proud home to 18 floating solar platforms – enough to provide the majority of Bawah’s electricity requirements! This immediately reduces our reliance on fuel, saving around 468 litres of diesel per day, or 170, 746 litres each year.   It also promises a significant reduction in C02 emissions on our part. In fact, our annual saving on CO2 emissions is equivalent to flying from London to Jakarta 261 times! Here are some of the whys, hows, and whats of Bawah’s exciting new floating solar panels.   ###### [Why floating solar panels?](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/floating-solar-panel-farm-indonesia#whysolarfloatingpanels) ###### [How do floating solar arrays stay afloat? ](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/floating-solar-panel-farm-indonesia#howdofloatingsolararraysstayafloat) ###### [What are floating solar systems made of?](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/floating-solar-panel-farm-indonesia#whatarefloatingsolarsystemsmadeof) ###### [How do floating solar panels work?](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/floating-solar-panel-farm-indonesia#howdofloatingsolarpanelswork) ###### [How do floating solar panels affect the environment?](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/floating-solar-panel-farm-indonesia#howdofloatingsolarpanelsaffecttheenvironment) ###### [How is floating solar installed?](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/floating-solar-panel-farm-indonesia#howisfloatingsolarinstalled) ## Why floating solar panels? ## ![Floating solar panels sustainable energy at Bawah Reserve](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/org_9f0f661ce45f7d2a_1649037994000.jpg?width=4000&name=org_9f0f661ce45f7d2a_1649037994000.jpg) Floating solar structures are a brilliant way to harness the power of the sun in land-scarce places such as islands and dense coastal cities, allowing for virtually unlimited solar energy to be produced. By providing access to this clean and renewable energy, solar PV reduces their reliance on conventional energy sources that pollute and are often expensive.     ## How do floating solar arrays stay afloat?    ![solar panels sea Bawah Reserve](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Images/solar%20panels%20sea%20Bawah%20Reserve.jpg?width=1280&name=solar%20panels%20sea%20Bawah%20Reserve.jpg) The solar panels are set in floating platforms that are moored together and then anchored to the seabed with steel rope mooring lines and screw anchors. This mooring grid is designed to keep the platforms in place, maintain separation between platforms, and stabilise the system during high wind and wave conditions. With the help of polystyrene for buoyancy, the platforms are semi-submerged, providing an elevated surface for the solar panels to ensure that waves and seawater don’t reach the modules. This design allows waves to pass right through the structure rather than having to resist the wave forces.   ## What are floating solar systems made of?   The solar panels are much like land-based panels, but more heavily sealed to keep out salt and humidity. This includes having a glass back-cover, hermetically sealed edges and a potted junction box. The floating platforms are built from marine-grade aluminium, stainless steel, and high-quality polystyrene.    ## How do floating solar panels work? ## ![close up of the Floating solar panels sustainable energy at Bawah Reserve](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ybC7RJzbPTmeOauvRj-kH2mRF5LHzDXmCMg6MR_3qywNSJZjl0bIs38WEDhAnDsJtRMQDaUmYzd8F-4hQS92YyavZ0qkP6BaacXhl5N7w1OkjuUjJwDcz5OURa-MIb6W7gBrXJBwLpUDjW6NIw) Floating solar panels work in essentially the same way as roof-mounted solar panels. The electricity produced is then transported via an underwater cable to wherever is it needed.   ## How do floating solar panels affect the environment?   Floating platforms provide a substrate for coral larvae and other sedentary organisms to settle and grow.  Made largely of corrosion-free aluminium and stainless steel, they pose little ecological danger. What’s more, by producing clean energy to replace the use of diesel, they reduce both CO2 emissions and any chance of diesel delivery leading to an oil spill in our pristine waters.   ## How is floating solar installed? [SolarSea](https://swimsol.com/#lagoon) component parts are shipped to the destination and then assembled on a rail system either on or close to the beach. The platforms can also be assembled on a landing craft, or on a barge. After being pushed into the water, they are tugged by boat to the location of deployment, where they are moored to one another and to the seabed.    Being a sustainable and [eco-friendly resort](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/what-makes-a-hotel-eco-friendly?hsLang=en) is about more than just protecting the existing environment.  Conscious travel is about making a positive impact for the better. We hope our continuing adventure into solar helps shape the path for more solar power and sustainable energy solutions in Indonesia.
