Super Typhoon Capricorn Tests Floating Solar Panels in China Mibet’s 16 MW Project Stands Strong

One of the most powerful typhoons to hit Zhanjiang, Guangdong, China since 1949 Super Typhoon Capricorn battered the region with sustained winds of up to 60 m/s and a maximum wind force of 17. Amid the devastation, Mibet’s 16 MW floating solar project demonstrated impressive durability, standing strong in the face of the storm’s ferocity.

While the typhoon caused extensive damage, including power outages, toppled cranes, and broken containers, the floating solar PV system remained intact. The solar plant, located near the shore, covers 210,000 square meters and generates around 16.632 million kWh annually. It uses Mibet’s G5M floating system, built with a recyclable, environmentally friendly HDPE float and steel-aluminum support structure, which has been certified by global organizations such as SGS and TUV.

Mibet attributes the system’s resilience to its modular extension layout, embedded installation, and advanced anchoring methods. Each float has a buoyancy of 150 kg/m², secured by multi-segment anchoring cables that protect the structure from high winds.

This success story highlights the potential of renewable energy to withstand extreme weather events. As storms grow stronger due to rising global temperatures, floating solar systems like Mibet’s are proving to be a robust solution for clean energy generation in even the harshest conditions.

With this in mind, the renewable energy sector continues to adapt, ensuring less disruption and faster recovery in the face of increasingly severe storms.
