Innovation and Global Adoption of Floating Photovoltaic Solar from Concept to Realisation in Australia by Geoff Fussell
Lismore City Council is leading Australia as the first Water Treatment Plant to adopt Ciel et Terre Hydrelio© patented modular floating solar system developed in 2011.
HYDRELIO© systems global adoption now covers 22 countries in 5 continents with
Lismore Project Facts
Largest floating solar project in Australia (100 kW)
1st HYDRELIO© modular float technology project in Australia System is scalable in size and configuration Design for future expansion to 400kW
1st HYDRELIO© system in the world to utilize a safety access zone and walkway with handrails. Design and product development by Australia for Australia
5th project in the world to utilize a computerised bird deterrent laser
Australia is the 22nd country to install a HYDRELIO © system which now totals 90 solar farms globally

Hydrelio© Floating Solar System - Modular Design
Australia leads the world driving product
development and adoption of a safe area
and walkway for access and maintenance
Install the PV generation close to the grid or electrical load
(water treatment plant, irrigation pumps)
Utilize unused water surfaces
Conserve valuable land
Conserve water
Reduce water evaporation
Reduce algae growth
PV panels operate cooler over water allows higher PV output
