Abstract: A cable management system for one or more floating solar PV arrays including a cable tensioning system that adjusts the length of, or maintains the tension in, a power or communication cable that runs from shore to the floating solar array, or between floating solar arrays while permitting the floating solar array(s) to move on the water. The cable tensioning system optionally includes a winch, a counterweight, an elastic member and/or one or more floating towers.

Abstract: An expandable flat-pack membrane-based float for use with a floating solar PV array, including: a float formed from a flexible membrane; and an expansion structure that is deployed to support the float in the inflated position without the need for compressed air. The expansion structure may be an expandable structure that is positioned within the float, or around an exterior surface of the float and increases in size when deployed.
