FLOATING SOLAR UTILITY PLATFORMS
AMD floating solar utility platforms are custom-engineered floating structural hubs that support the transformers, inverters, cable routing, and service access at the heart of utility-scale floating solar. Marine-grade materials, stamped engineering, made in the USA.
FLOATING SOLAR PLATFORMS BUILT TO HOLD IT ALL TOGETHER
Our floating solar utility platforms are purpose-engineered structural hubs designed for utility-scale power generation. Each platform supports the mission-critical infrastructure that enables floating solar arrays to operate safely and efficiently:
• Transformers, inverters, and switchgear
• Energy storage equipment
• Cable management systems
• Maintenance and personnel access
AMD's engineered open box frame allows pathways for electrical and communications lines without separate cable trays or external routing systems. This integrated approach simplifies installation, reduces labor requirements, and helps developers and EPC contractors save time and money while improving long-term system reliability. Every platform is custom-engineered to your project's structural, electrical, and operational requirements.
MARINE-GRADE. AMERICAN-MADE.
Every AMD floating solar utility platform is fabricated in our Wellsburg, WV facility from heavy-duty galvanized steel, aluminum, or stainless steel, delivering the strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability required for critical energy infrastructure. Built on over four decades of platform building experience, every project includes:
- Stamped engineering drawings rated for equipment weight, personnel, wind, snow, and dynamic water forces
- Integrated cable tray routing that brings power from the array into the platform cleanly and safely
- Full-width walk decks, handrails, and cleated surfaces for safe technician access
- Custom aluminum gangways engineered to maintain code-compliant O&M access at any water elevation
FROM WATER TO FLOATING SOLAR UTILITY PLATFORM
We design and fabricate the floating solar utility platform to your site, array size, and electrical specifications. Your solar contractor installs the array around it. We make sure the platform hub is ready to receive it.
Site Evaluation
We assess your waterfront, access points, and electrical routing on-site to map out the best platform design that is tailored to your project's exact needs.
Platform Engineering
Stamped structural drawings, electrical equipment layouts, mooring attachments, and cable management plans coordinated with your solar contractor and EPC.
Fabrication in Wellsburg, WV
Platform sections, deck grating, anchor hardware, and all structural components precision-fabricated from marine-grade materials.
Delivery, Launch, and Commissioning
Platform sections are coordinated and delivered in a sequence, then assembled on-shore, launched, anchored, and ready for your electrical team to complete the installation.
