　　　California Wine Country - Sonoma County (Sonoma) Petaluma Maastricht vineyards, 3 acres of irrigation pond, there are 144 solar panels mounted on a pontoon platform. About 35 miles north of Napa Valley outside central Fa Nante winery pond (Far Nanette Winery), also neatly placed 994 solar panels. Fa Nante winery Maguire, general manager, said: "Napa Valley vineyards here, one acre of land could create 200,000 to 300,000 U.S. dollars of economic value we want to develop solar energy, but also do not want to give up the cause of grapes . "Erection of solar modules in which two groups of California Novato SPG Solar, solar energy company in Australia (Sunengy) and Israel Solaris Synergy companies, wants to develop for agriculture and mining reservoirs, hydroelectric reservoirs and canals of solar panels on the market. Although, this is a favorable market, but has the potential to become a major global market. Solaris synergy director said: "Solar panels power plant has caused water municipal water conservancy agencies, farmers and mining companies of interest, because this technology allows them to use for the development of new water resources, but also can bring new revenue."Australia Solar company founder and chief technology officer Connor (Philip Connor) said: "The company is targeting not shortage distress, but with abundant water and solar energy resources in developing countries." SPG Solar CEO Lou said: "Customers have been as far as he was aware, India, Australia and the Middle East."; He said: "When your precious land is scarce, the use of solar energy to provide clean power generation is a great help, it does not grab and agricultural and mining resources. " Australia Solar indicates: India's largest private power company and - Tata Power Company signed a contract again hydroelectric reservoir near Mumbai, set up a small pilot project; Alternatively, and EDF Group (EDF) in southern France a reservoir, the erection of floating solar array.North Dakota, MDU Resources Group, is a market capitalization $ 4.3 billion mining and energy infrastructure construction group, is also working with the company to discuss SPG Solar gravel mine in California precipitation Ikegami, set the floating solar modules.At present, solar PV modules installed in the water, you can make full use of resources to avoid the occupation of land, but it can have on biological environmental impacts, it is still impossible to assess.
