Sinn Power, a German startup, is planning to build a 1.8 MW floating PV plant with vertically deployed solar modules at a gravel pit in Gilching, Bavaria. The project, which will use the company's patented Floating-SKipp mounting systems, has strong support from local authorities and is expected to begin construction this summer. The east-west orientation of the solar modules will shift electricity production towards the morning and afternoon, with most of the solar energy being used directly at the gravel plant and the surplus injected into the grid.
