No Land Use Required
Up to 4× more space-efficient design than ground-mounted solar panels — equivalent to 1.6 MW per hectare — without using any land area.
Preserves Water Resources
2,740 m³ of water saved per hectare annually through reduced evaporation.
Higher Production
Up to 15% higher efficiency than roof- or ground-mounted systems, thanks to reflection and cooling from the water.
Reduced Evaporation
Floating photovoltaic systems (FPV) lower water temperature and slow down algae growth, resulting in cleaner water and reduced eutrophication.
Reduced Fire Risk
Placement on water eliminates building fire risks and provides natural cooling that extends the system’s lifespan.
Floating solar offer higher efficiency, reduced evaporation, longer lifespan, and environmental benefits — without using valuable land.
Sunsurf Solar is Sweden’s leading developer of floating solar (FPV) and pile-free solar systems. We specialize in solar solutions for industrial ponds, irrigation ponds, leachate ponds, peatlands, and landfills — locations where traditional solar energy systems are not feasible. Our patented technology enables large-scale green energy production without land use, conserves water, and increases efficiency by up to 15% compared to ground-mounted systems.
Floating Photovoltaic Systems
01
No Land Use Required
Up to 4 times more space-efficient design than ground-mounted solar panels, equivalent to 1.6 MW per hectare — without using any land area. Perfect for irrigation ponds, leachate ponds, and industrial reservoirs.
02
Preserves Water Resources
2,740 cubic meters of water are saved per hectare annually through reduced evaporation. Floating photovoltaic systems on irrigation ponds and reservoirs minimize water loss and offer a sustainable solution for water conservation.
03
Higher Production
Up to 15% higher efficiency than roof- or ground-mounted systems, thanks to reflection and cooling from the water. Floating photovoltaic systems therefore generate more renewable energy per square meter than traditional installations.
04
Reduced Algal Bloom
Floating solar lowers water temperature and slow algae growth, resulting in cleaner water, reduced eutrophication, and improved water quality in irrigation ponds, leachate ponds, and reservoirs. An eco-friendly solution for sustainable water management.
05
Reduced Fire Risk
Placement on water eliminates the risk of building fires and provides natural cooling, extending the system’s lifespan and reducing maintenance over time.

Technical Solutions
technology for a Nordic climate
Sunsurf Solar’s solutions are designed for optimal performance under the challenging conditions of the Nordic climate. The technology is engineered to meet high standards for temperature resistance, ice formation, snow loads, and strong winds. The developed system enables the installation of photovoltaic systems on otherwise unused surfaces such as water bodies, peatlands, wetlands, and landfills. Materials and design have been carefully selected to ensure long lifespan and high performance year-round.
About Us
How Sunsurf Solar was founded
Sunsurf Solar was founded in 2020 with the vision of contributing to the green transition. From the very beginning, our mission has been to combine long-term commitment and innovation to meet the challenges of the transition to sustainable energy.
Sustainability
Energy with responsibility for the environment
When Sunsurf Solar was founded, the goal was to contribute to the green transition and develop solutions that promote sustainable energy. Since then, we have worked to refine our methods and create products that not only generate renewable energy, but also offer long lifespans and minimal environmental impact.

Patented Technology –
PowerModule™ & PeatModule™
PowerModule™ is our patented solution for floating solar installations on leachate ponds, irrigation ponds, and other artificial water surfaces. The module is specifically designed for Nordic conditions and can withstand large variations in water levels, high wind speeds, and heavy snow loads — without compromising safety, stability, or energy performance. It’s the perfect solution for environments where traditional solar power systems are not feasible.
PeatModule™ is our patented solution for solar installations on landfills, peatlands, and wetlands — areas with the most challenging ground conditions. The solar cell system is flexible, pile-free, and capable of handling variations in ground level and temporary flooding. PeatModule™ delivers the same high performance and long lifespan as traditional solar parks — but without land use and with minimal environmental impact.
The projects we have carried out include installations on irrigation ponds, leachate ponds, and peatlands.
Sunsurf Solar's technology has made it possible to develop projects in several previously unused areas for the production of renewable energy. So far, the technology has been utilized in projects at Tångagård in Falkenberg, Säve Nursery, Hyllstofta Recycling Center, Jönköping Environmental Management, and in peatland installations.
These installations have been made possible thanks to Sunsurf Solar's technical solutions, which are specifically designed to handle inaccessible and challenging environments. The result is renewable energy production on surfaces that, through this technology, have gained dual functionality.

Sunsurf Solar was founded in 2020 with the vision of contributing to the green transition through innovative solar energy. We specialize in floating photovoltaic systems and pile-free solar solutions for water surfaces, landfills, and peatlands. Since the beginning, our goal has been to combine long-term commitment with new technology to address the challenges of the transition to sustainable energy. We develop solutions that meet the energy needs of the future without using valuable land.
We believe that small, thoughtful steps lead to big changes. That’s why we work with clear purpose and dedication to develop technologies that support the energy systems of tomorrow.
energy – with responsibility for the environment
Environmental responsibility is a natural and central part of Sunsurf Solar’s identity and business model. One of our founders, Marc Montgomery, has a background in environmental science, and it was the desire to make a real difference for the climate and environment that laid the foundation of the company. For us, sustainability means much more than producing renewable energy — it’s about creating innovative solar solutions that work with nature, not against it.
Our floating solar technology saves water, reduces eutrophication, and enables green energy production in locations where traditional solar power is not viable.
We strive to minimize environmental impact at every stage — from design and material selection to installation and operation — and to develop technology that contributes to a more resource-efficient and balanced future. Thinking long-term and acting responsibly is not just part of what we do — it’s what drives us.
