Floating Solar Maintenance Pontoon Hire

FPS Pontoon Hire provides modular floating access platforms to support inspection, maintenance and repair activities around floating solar installations on reservoirs, lakes and lagoons.
A temporary pontoon can provide additional working space for specialist solar and marine contractors, tools and replacement components where direct access from the bank or permanent walkways is limited.


Access for floating solar maintenance
Each platform is configured around the required working area, personnel, equipment and site conditions. FPS supplies the pontoon and agreed access equipment while electrical, solar and specialist maintenance activities remain under the control of the appointed competent contractors.
Typical applications
- Floating solar inspection access
- Cleaning and maintenance support
- Float and connector replacement support
- Walkway and access-system maintenance
- Survey and condition inspection
- Equipment and component staging
- Specialist contractor access around arrays
Project planning
We consider platform dimensions, anticipated personnel and loads, water conditions, access, positioning and the need for work boats, safety boats, gangways or edge protection. The platform arrangement is coordinated around the solar array and the contractor’s planned safe system of work. For other reservoir access requirements, see our Reservoir & Dam Pontoon Hire service.
