Buoyed by the fine operation of the world's first floating solar power plant that tracks sunlight, Solkiss launches a new project this week to build more plants using solar energy on the surface of two reservoirs in South Korea's remote rural areas.

The solar energy firm gained fame in 2014 for opening a floating and rotating solar power plant capable of producing 465 kilowatts per hour in Anseong, about 68 kilometers (42 miles) south of Seoul. Some 1,600 modules were installed on an octagon floating deck of 7,500 square meters.

Solkiss said it would build three more plants in Hwasong that could provide 5.67 megawatts of electricity together to 2,300 households. Construction would be completed by the end of November this year.

The company said a floating and rotating system is 22 percent more efficient than a fixed system on the ground where modules are not installed densely due to long morning and evening shadows.
