Problem
Today’s energy landscape faces three critical challenges:
1) Expensive electricity: Rising energy prices strain businesses, governments, and communities, especially in coastal and island regions where energy imports are common.
2) High GHG emissions: Conventional fossil-fuel-based electricity generation remains a major contributor to climate change, undermining global decarbonization goals.
3) Lack of available land space: Urban density, agricultural needs, and environmental constraints make it increasingly difficult to find suitable land for large-scale renewable energy projects.
HelioRec addresses all three by transforming unused water bodies into clean energy assets - delivering solar power without competing for land, while helping reduce emissions and long-term energy costs.

HelioRec addresses all three by transforming unused water bodies into clean energy assets - delivering solar power without competing for land, while helping reduce emissions and long-term energy costs.
Solution
HelioRec provides an innovative floating solar solution that directly addresses energy cost, efficiency, and land scarcity:
1) at least 3x less expensive electricity over the system's lifetime compared to diesel or grid imports - especially critical for island and coastal users.
2) Clean solar energy with 5-30% higher efficiency thanks to natural water cooling and reduced dust accumulation.
3) No land use required - systems are installed on unused water surfaces (seas, lakes, reservoirs), preserving land for agriculture, housing, or conservation.
This scalable, sustainable technology makes renewable energy more accessible and practical where land-based solar is not feasible.

Performance and impacts
HelioRec’s floating solar power plants deliver high energy efficiency through natural water cooling, which boosts panel performance and longevity.
Our systems can be installed on any water bodies - inshore or nearshore - helping preserve valuable land and optimize unused surfaces for clean energy generation.
Beyond electricity production, HelioRec systems provide positive environmental impacts:
1) Reduce water evaporation
2) Improve water quality
3) Significantly cut CO₂ emissions
This makes our technology a strong contributor to climate resilience, especially for coastal and island communities.
