Floating Solar Programme - PMSSY
A Step Towards a Sustainable Energy Future
The Union Cabinet has officially approved the Pradhan Mantri Surya Sarovar Yojana (PM-SSY) to accelerate the development of Floating Solar Photovoltaic (FPV) projects across India.
PAA SOLAR delivers complete EPC, floating pontoon mooring, aquatic structural engineering, and regulatory clearance support for power producers, developers, and DISCOMs under PM-SSY.
Floating Solar Applications by Water Body
Deploying clean solar PV over reservoirs, dams, and lakes without land acquisition.
Hydroelectric Reservoirs & Dam Backwaters
Deploying large-scale FPV arrays on hydro dams to optimize existing evacuation sub-stations and balance day/night hydro generation.
Thermal Power Station Cooling Ponds
Utilizing thermal plant ash ponds and cooling reservoirs to supply auxiliary green power to thermal utilities.
Municipal Water Supply Reservoirs & Lakes
Shading municipal drinking water reservoirs to cut water evaporation by up to 70% while generating clean power.
Agricultural Irrigation Canals & Ponds
Shielding farm retention ponds and irrigation network canals to preserve agricultural water reserves.
Industrial Process Water Basins & Mining Pits
Transforming industrial effluent retention basins and flooded quarry pits into productive solar energy assets.
Inland Waterways & Aquacultural Lagoons
Dual-use floating solar installations combining aquaculture fish farming with surface renewable power generation.
How We Engage
Comprehensive turnkey floating solar EPC framework from bathymetric survey to DISCOM synchronization.
Hydrographic Audit & Bathymetric Survey
Water depth profiling, bathymetric mapping, wind-wave hydrodynamic modeling, and soil anchoring analysis.
Pontoon Mooring & Anchoring Engineering
HDPE float design, tension-controlled mooring cables, and flexible aquatic expansion joints.
Tier-1 TOPCon Module Procurement
Anti-humidity PID-free TOPCon bifacial modules designed for high-humidity water body microclimates.
