Who We Are

D3Energy is the company that built the U.S. floating solar industry. We are a developer and EPC contractor dedicated exclusively to floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems, from first site screening through long-term operations and maintenance. Floating solar only. Nationwide. Since 2015.


We have built 30+ floating solar systems, more than all other U.S. developers combined: 55.3% of every U.S. FPV project, 60+ MW across 10 states and New Zealand. Our projects range from 10 kW pilots to the 22.5 MW, multi-array Crown City Solar in Cortland, NY.


Floating solar is marine construction as much as electrical work. Systems last or fail at the waterline, in anchoring, mooring, and cable management, and that is where we have spent the last decade. Our arrays rode out hurricanes in Florida and are engineered for snow, ice, and freeze-thaw in Utah and Colorado.


We work for utilities, cities and counties, a state DOT, airports, universities, industry, and the U.S. Army, under public procurement and grant rules. Clients include Duke Energy, DEMEC, Del-Co Water, Orlando Utilities Commission, FDOT, Miami-Dade County, and Cox Automotive.

Our Partner

Our exclusive manufacturing partner, Ciel & Terre, is the pioneer of floating photovoltaic solutions. Their floating system, Hydrelio®, is recognized as the ‘gold standard’ in the industry.  With over 80% of the global market share, Ciel & Terre's system has successfully demonstrated its durability and bankability. The Hydrelio® has over 1,400 MWp that has been installed in over 30 countries.
