Mibet: Zhanjiang Floating Solar Project Withstands Typhoon

Mibet's 16MW floating solar project in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, China, successfully withstood Super Typhoon Capricorn, one of the strongest typhoons to hit the region since 1949. Capricorn, with sustained winds of up to 60 m/s and a maximum wind force of 17 at its center, caused widespread damage across southern China, including power outages.

The Zhanjiang project, completed in October 2022, covers 210,000 m² and has an annual power generation capacity of 16,632,000 kWh.

Key features that enabled the project to withstand Capricorn:

● Robust "floaters+steel and aluminum supports" structure: This provides a strong and stable foundation for the solar panels.
● Increased floater buoyancy: Engineered with 150kg/㎡ buoyancy, the floaters can withstand wind loads exceeding 60 m/s, preventing damage during typhoons.
● High-quality materials: The high-density polyethylene (HDPE) floaters are resistant to extreme temperatures, impact, UV aging, and are secured with anti-loosening bolts/nuts for enhanced stability.
● Enlarged floater size: This provides excellent buoyancy and reduces the risk of capsizing in high winds.
