Falkenberg — Halland's first floating solar installation
Clean-powered irrigation at Tångagård
Tångagård in Falkenberg is Halland's first floating solar installation. In early 2024, Sunsurf Solar commissioned a 100 kWp PowerModule™ system next to the pump house — 42 units and 126 bifacial panels powering the farm's irrigation pumps directly off the pond. Last updated: 24 April 2026.
Annual output equivalent to 5–10 households
The system has 42 PowerModule™ units and 126 bifacial panels with a total capacity of 100 kWp, covering nearly 500 square metres of water surface. Estimated annual production matches the energy demand of five to ten single-family homes.
The bifacial panels harvest light from both faces and make full use of reflection off the pond surface. Thanks to that design the system generates more energy than a conventional installation, lifting overall efficiency.
Sited right next to the pump house
The system is placed directly next to Tångagård's pump house, so the farm's pumps run straight on solar electricity. It's anchored with Sunsurf Solar's patented mooring system, which handles significant water-level variation and suits irrigation ponds particularly well.
The installation has cut energy costs and taken Tångagård another step towards more sustainable food production. It strengthens the farm's self-sufficiency and produces clean electricity without touching cultivated land or compromising food output.
It's interesting to produce renewable energy on a surface that can't produce anything else. I'm fairly tired of solar parks on farmland — but putting them on a surface that can't generate anything else, and that also reduces evaporation, is just great.
