Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2016005169A1] Disclosed is a solar harvesting system, including: a) at least one solar harvesting pontoon (1), the solar harvesting pontoon (1) including: a peripheral frame structure (10); a platform (12), the platform spanning a pontoon area; wherein a bottom side of the platform (12) and a liquid surface (S) of the liquid reservoir serve as delimiting top surface and delimiting bottom surface of a gastight containment when the at least one solar harvesting pontoon (1) floats on the liquid reservoir, the gastight containment enclosing an enclosed volume (V); a solar harvesting arrangement (11), the solar harvesting arrangement (11) being arranged on or above a top side of the platform (12); b) a gas supply unit (2); c) a gas feeding system with at least one gas supply aperture (30)) for feeding gas into the enclosed volume (V), thus generating an overpressure inside the enclosed volume (V), the overpressure suspending the at least one solar harvesting pontoon (1). Disclosed is further a method for operating a solar harvesting system.
