Our Specialists
Floatex Solar is a nationwide enterprise, providing floating solar systems to projects placed on the large reservoirs and industrial water bodies in India.
Floating solar plants function as long-life on-water infrastructure. Their functionality is determined by the way platforms act on water, the way that anchoring systems handle load, and the way that materials react to constant exposure to the environment.
Floatex builds floating platforms, anchoring systems and supporting structures through an engineering led process integrating:
The testing programmes are conducted both in the laboratory and at pilot sites in India to test the performance of flotation, load behaviour and durability. This development cycle promotes predictable system behaviour, scalable deployment and reliable operational behaviour of projects of all sizes.
The floating solar market value worldwide (2022)
Projected industry growth (2022–2030)
Targeted deployment and development of floating solar systems.
Omkareshwar Floating Solar Park - is one of the largest floating solar parks in India.
Floatex Solar's experience stems from the development, supply and support of floating solar systems used on large on-water power plants. This work encompasses structural platforms, anchoring systems as well as execution environments where performance is characterised by load behaviour, durability and execution reliability.

Floatex Solar specializes in two primary technologies: Floating Solar PV (FSPV) and Ferrocement structures.
– FSPV Technology: Our FSPV solutions are at the forefront of solar technology, designed to float on water bodies. This system reduces water evaporation, maintains cooler module temperatures, and increases efficiency compared to land-based systems. By adapting solar panels to float, we harness solar energy on reservoirs, lakes, and ponds, turning these areas into power generation facilities without compromising their ecological functions.
– Ferrocement Structures: Known for their durability and versatility, our ferrocement constructions are integral to our floating solar installations. This material is not only robust and weather-resistant but also lightweight, making it ideal for floating applications. Our design innovations in ferrocement have allowed us to create more sustainable and cost-effective structures that are specifically tailored to the needs of floating solar plants.
Floatex Solar has collaborated with several leading enterprises and public sector units across India, launching multiple high-capacity floating solar plants:
9.100MW NTPC Plant at Telangana and 28MW in Auraiya UP with L&T: These projects underscore our operational excellence and the trust placed in us by public sector giants.
As we continue to innovate and expand, Floatex Solar is not just contributing to meeting global renewable energy targets but is also playing a crucial role in the ecological conservation of water bodies. Our technologies help in reducing the evaporation of precious water resources, thereby supporting local ecosystems.
At Floatex Solar, we are driven by the vision of a brighter, more sustainable future. Our projects across various states of India underscore our commitment to this vision. Through persistent innovation and strategic partnerships, we aim to not only lead but also inspire the global shift towards sustainable energy solutions. By leveraging the synergy between technology and nature, Floatex Solar is setting new standards in the renewable energy sector, promising a greener tomorrow. [/read]
