Emica Solar uses this new possibility and hopes to mature, soon new projects to develop, both in the Basque Country and in areas of the Ebro -Bekken and also in the Canary Islands. It’s about leading the take -off of one renewable energy modality that has great benefits and enormous potential.
And although it is true that the implementation of this technology in a state is still starting in Europe, it already has Numerous examples of large -scale facilities in different countries of the worldEspecially in China and Southeast Asia.
Floating photovoltaic solar -Production -Energy for Álava
The Alava Technology Park has a generation installation of energy Floating photovoltaic that offers the central Miñano building of 30% of its consumption. This factory, installed by the Emica Solar Company in 2023, is equipped with 196 bifacial panels and 106 kWp in power, which has been saved 104 tons of CO2 emissionsEven working in very unfavorable climatic conditions. The production is the same as the electrical consumption of 35 houses.
The vice minister of energy transition, Irantzu Allendeparticipated in the presentation of the use of generation -initiatives of this type through the Startup EMICA Solar, which has financial support from the Basque government through the Capital Management Society of the Spri Group. After the phase of Floating photovoltaic technology testsThe company has received a capital injection of 500,000 euros, with which the company now starts a second phase of escalation in its activity, making Quintuple the business figure in 2025.
The vice minister Allende has appreciated that «with this new type of generation plants, technology and innovation are accompanied by the energy transition. We talk about 100% technological development “Made in Euskadi” so we can quickly make the jump of Miñano’s to other larger places ».
For his part, Jon other Agrerebengoa, general manager of Emica, emphasized that “in the state of the state the state Photovoltaic solar energy production on water plates It could achieve about 20 GW, while Euskadi estimates that only irrigating flows in the Alavesa plain have a potential of 40 MW ».
