US floating solar developer D3Energy has partnered with Del-Co Water, an Ohio-based cooperative water utility, to develop the state’s first floating solar project. The utility-scale solar installation will include over 1,000 ground-mounted solar panels and 6,000 floating panels, creating a total installed capacity of 3.2MW.
