ČEZ tests its first floating photovoltaic power plant in the Czech Republic
With the test floating solar power plant at Homole, the upper reservoir of the Štěchovice pumped-storage power plant, power engineers will be able to determine the properties of floating carriers and solar panels in a real environment, in combination with the daily operation of the pumped-storage power plant. In the summer, the pilot installation will be expanded into a regular power plant using solar power, with a capacity of 100 kWp. Overall, the upper reservoir could house solar panels with a capacity of up to 2.5 MW.

Last year ČEZ Prodej installed 1,514 rooftop photovoltaics, almost two and a half times as many as in 2020
The total capacity of these 1,514 rooftop photovoltaic power plants reached 7.4 MW. Customers are particularly interested in solar power plants supplemented by battery systems. Last year, ČEZ Prodej installed 939 batteries at its customers, i.e., twice as many. Interest in heat pumps has also increased, with ČEZ technicians installing 1,118 of them in Czech households last year, compared to 514 in 2020. In addition to market growth and rising energy prices, the increase in the number of installations has also been helped by the fact that ČEZ Prodej has significantly streamlined the entire process from offer to installation and the customer is now kept regularly informed every step of the way.
