Optimal panels and inverters for your FloatSolar system
FloatSolar manufactures the floating structure kit — the buoyant racking that holds panels above water and anchors the array in place. It does not manufacture the solar panels or inverters themselves. The components listed below are third-party panels and inverters that are dimensionally and electrically compatible with FloatSolar's Gen3 racking, chosen because their physical size, voltage, and power output line up with our rail spacing and extension hardware.
How to choose a panel: match panel dimensions to the structure kit's rail spacing (so the frame clamps correctly), check the panel's Vmp against your inverter's MPPT voltage window, and consider bifacial designs for water-reflection gains on floating installations.
How to choose an inverter: match continuous/peak VA output and MPPT voltage range to your chosen panel, confirm whether your electrical service is single-phase (240V) or three-phase (208Y), and check the resulting DC:AC ratio to keep clipping losses low.
Wiring, connectors, and anchoring are site-specific and sized to your array layout and pond conditions; they are not itemized on this page. Contact FloatSolar or your dealer for a full bill of materials for your project.
These 560W panel and microinverter choices are sized for FloatSolar's Gen3 structure kit and typical 240V residential or small-commercial electrical service.
Complete Single-Phase Pairing: $500-575 per panel + inverter
These 640W bifacial panel and three-phase microinverter choices are sized for FloatSolar's 640mm structure extension and typical 208Y commercial or industrial electrical service.
Complete Three-Phase Pairing: $625-720 per panel + inverter
The floating structure kit is manufactured by FloatSolar in Winter Garden, FL. It is the buoyant racking frame that supports panels above the water surface — it does not include panels, inverters, wiring, or anchoring hardware, which are selected separately based on your chosen panel/inverter pairing and site conditions.
Choosing anchoring: anchor type and quantity depend on pond depth, bottom composition, and local wind/wave exposure, and are specified per project rather than sold as a fixed SKU on this page.
Best for: Residential, small commercial, 240V service
JA Solar 560W + Enphase IQ8HC
Best for: Commercial, industrial, 208Y service
Trina 640W + Enphase IQ8P-3P
FloatSolar manufactures the floating structure kit. The panels and inverters below are third-party components we recommend for compatibility with our racking; they are typically sourced from your preferred distributor, not sold directly by FloatSolar.
Single-phase 560W kits pair with 240V residential or small commercial electrical service. Three-phase 640W kits are designed for 208Y commercial or industrial service where higher power density and bifacial gain are useful.
The FloatSolar structure kit's rail spacing and extension lengths are engineered around specific panel dimensions, and the inverter's MPPT voltage window must match the panel's Vmp for efficient energy harvest, so panel and inverter choice directly affects fit and performance.
