Why Choose FloatSolar for Floating Photovoltaic Systems?
FloatSolar builds Gen3 floating solar structures engineered to support the industry's largest solar panels (560W-710W), and we help you find out fast whether your pond needs a federal permit before you spend anything on the project.
The Post-Sackett Jurisdictional Reality
Traditional floating solar installations can require extensive environmental permits, wetland studies, and regulatory approvals that take 18-24 months. Since Sackett v. EPA (2023) narrowed the definition of "waters of the United States," many privately owned, isolated retention ponds, process ponds and irrigation ponds fall outside federal wetlands jurisdiction and outside Rivers and Harbors Act navigability rules. When that's true for your site, the federal wetlands and navigability permits simply don't apply. Because this depends on the specific water body — and the applicable rule still varies by state — we run a free jurisdictional pre-screen and give you the answer in writing. Learn more on our permits and jurisdiction page or see what this looks like for a typical property on our retention pond solar page.
Domestic Manufacturing
FloatSolar structures are manufactured in the USA and built to comply with Build America, Buy America (BABA) requirements, which matters for publicly funded and municipal projects. See our Made in USA page for details on our domestic supply chain.
High-Wattage Module Support
FloatSolar Gen3 structures support 560W to 710W solar panels. Higher-wattage panel support means:
- Fewer panels and mounting points needed to reach a given system size
- Lower installation costs from fewer components
- Future-proof design ready for next-generation panels
- Reduced maintenance with fewer connections
Ideal Applications
FloatSolar systems are well suited to farm ponds, irrigation reservoirs, retention basins, wastewater treatment lagoons, industrial cooling ponds, quarry lakes, and private water bodies throughout the United States, subject to the jurisdictional and permitting status of each site.
