System features high wattage MLPE with optimization, monitoring and rapid shutdown technology
In an ambitious project to lead large-format solar projects in Brazil, Apollo Flutuantes is deploying the country’s largest floating solar plant on the reservoir of the Lajeado Hydroelectric Power Plant, located 10 km from Porto Nacional in Tocantins. The cutting-edge project, comprising 18 solar islands, aims to harness energy from solar modules mounted on floating platforms.
Upon its completion in December 2025, the installation will produce 69 MWp DC / 54 MW AC. The system features 97,200 AE Solar bifacial modules enhanced by Tigo Energy's optimization technology.
Floating solar projects present unique operational and safety challenges. The water environment introduces risks to electrical systems, necessitating robust safety mechanisms. In addition, energy production needs to be optimized across many panels with varying performance characteristics due to power mismatch between modules. The remote location and the scale of the project demand efficient monitoring and maintenance to prevent full shutdowns during servicing.
Apollo Flutuantes selected Tigo TS4-X-O optimizers to meet the technical demands of this large-scale floating plant. The optimizers offer several critical advantages:
Incorporating advanced high-albedo platforms, the floating plant maximizes energy output by reflecting sunlight onto the back of the bifacial modules. This synergy between hardware and software demonstrates a forward-thinking approach to renewable energy development.
This installation pioneers floating solar technology in Brazil, setting a benchmark for future projects in the region. The plant generates clean energy without occupying valuable land, showcasing the potential of integrating Tigo's advanced technology with innovative designs.
After successful rounds of technology testing, the project will begin in phases and is expected to be fully operational by December 2025.
