1 CORPORATE PROFILE & BUSINESS PORTFOLIO FLOATING PV DESIGN & QUALITY CHALLENGES

2 Benefits of Floating Solar Power Generation Regardless of the land price Using idle water surface owned by the Gov t Solving civil complaints Cooling effect by low water temperature Reflection and distraction on the water surface Increased efficiency about 10% (source: K-Water) Minimizing the destruction of natural green Excellent results in algae prevention Eco-friendly structure (ex. Spawn for underwater creatures) New demands in solar and composite materials Job creation in maintenance field in rural areas Artificial islands, natural learning etc. creation

3 Core Technology of Floating Solar Systems Conventional solar power generation on land is expanded to water surface. Floating technology is added up to the existing solar power technology. Requires technical capability to secure structural stability and durability on the water up to 20 years. Analysis and engineering of structures to ensure safety. Solar Power Plant Technology Floating Technology Mooring system to fix the structures. PV module suitable for the water environment. Underwater cabling + connection system.

5 Design Configuration (Assembly Types)

6 Configuration Optimum Design for High-durability Wind load and water surface motion consideration Repetitive unit assembly for easy construction + quality High-durable, high-strength structure to cope with - humidity, rust, saline environment Durability secured and proven in the fatigue environment caused by frequent movement of water surface. Design for Structural Stability Optimum frame configuration to simplify load transfer channel. Lightweight materials and technology to improve workability. High-durable frame members. Proven safety through structural & fluid analysis. Fatigue test under 2 million cycles of dynamic load, wind tunnel test, and various load resistance & performance test to secure structural safety. Flat Frame Floating Body

7 Configuration The structural members (materials) are eco-friendly, high-durability FRP suitable for the wet and humid floating environment. The structure satisfies the IFS method of NET #758 that has the optimum configuration to support the solar power module.

10 Configuration (Structure Material Types) Structural Members (PFRP) Vertical Members (SMC FRP)

11 Mooring System Multiple auxiliary floating bodies Uses multiple auxiliary floating bodies. Uses multiple auxiliary weights. Operated solely by the gravity of auxiliary weights without any mechanical system. Suitable for sites with deep water and big difference in water level. Auxiliary mooring structure Auxiliary weights and mooring anchors are connected through mooring lines. Indirect areas are reduced through auxiliary structures. Operated solely by the gravity of auxiliary weights without any mechanical system. Suitable for sites with deep water and big difference in water level.
