Solar panels on water

We are Bata. We realize customized solar energy and energy storage for companies in horticulture, agriculture, logistics and SMEs. From solar panels and batteries to smart control.

Specialized in various floating systems

At Bata Energy Solutions, we specialize in various floating solar power systems. We are happy to contribute ideas to realize the most suitable solution for every situation. Whether it concerns water basins in horticulture, sand extraction lakes or other commercial water bodies, we provide every surface with a reliable and efficient system with floating solar panels, tailored to your location and energy needs.

Water basins

Our floating solar panels are ideal for water basins in horticulture. They make optimal use of the surface and at the same time provide natural cooling and less evaporation.

Sand extraction lakes

On large water surfaces such as sand extraction lakes, we realize stable and scalable solar installations. The systems are designed for high energy yield and long-term reliability.

Commercial water bodies

We also offer customized solutions for industrial or logistics locations with water surfaces. Our floating systems adapt to the environment and deliver sustainable energy.

FLOATING SOLARPANELS

The advantages of
floating solar panels

Maximum use of water surface

Use the water basin surface twice and maximize the use of your land.

Recognized by insurers

The anchoring is recognized by insurers and offers safety to the total system.

Less algae growth and evaporation

Floating solar panels reduce algae growth and evaporation by up to 70%.

More yield through natural cooling

Up to 15% higher efficiency of solar panels due to cooling from the water surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

We find that business owners often have questions about solar energy. Below you will find clear answers to the most common questions about solar panels, payback time, subsidies and grid congestion, specifically tailored to the practice of SMEs.

A suitable roof has sufficient bearing capacity, is preferably south or east/west facing, and has little shade. We always perform a roof scan to identify this.

In most cases, solar panels on a company roof are permit-free. However, we always check if there are specific requirements within your municipality or at your location.

Storing energy allows you to better manage consumption and generation. This helps with grid congestion and increases your independence from the power grid. In addition, you don’t pay transmission fees or energy taxes to the power company or grid operator. Moreover, when the energy system is also linked to a charging system, HBEs (Renewable Fuel Units) can be obtained, generating additional revenue.

Solar panels have a lifespan of at least 25 years. Therefore, most manufacturers provide a 10-15 year product warranty and a 25-year performance warranty. After 25 years, the panels are still producing energy, but at a slightly lower yield. The inverter typically has a shorter lifespan of 10-15 years and must be replaced in the interim. So with proper maintenance, you can benefit from your investment for decades.

The number of solar panels required varies from company to company and depends on your energy consumption, available roof area and energy goals. We analyze your energy profile and make a calculation that provides the best return for your personal situation. In doing so, we look at your consumption pattern, peaks in energy demand and the possibilities for energy storage. In this way, we ensure that you get the maximum benefit from your solar panel installation.
