Solar island that rotates with the sun opened in Rotterdam – DutchReview
The largest solar island in Europe that rotates with the movement of the sun has been opened in Rotterdam.
By making the solar panels follow with the sun, the energy yield is higher than a normal solar panel on land, reports NOS. The extra yield can be up to 30% more than traditional solar panels.
The island contains 4800 solar panels and the diameter is around 100 metres. The annual yield is around 2 million kWh of renewable energy, equivalent to the energy use of 650 households per year. The special sensors designed to track the sun were developed by Floating Solar.
