Now it’s possible to generate solar power from the surface of water!
In Floating Solar Photovoltaic (FSPV) technology, panels are mounted on specially designed floating bodies on the surface of water. These systems are typically set up on artificial bodies of water like dams, lakes, reservoirs, and industrial ponds, saving valuable land space.
The water beneath these floating panels helps keep them cool, preventing overheating. This boosts the efficiency and extends the lifespan of the solar system. Plus, floating solar farms have another great benefit—they help reduce water evaporation and curb algae growth, promoting a healthier ecosystem.
And that’s not all! FSPVs are often deployed on hydropower reservoirs, so there’s no need for extra grid infrastructure. This dual use of resources can lead to significant savings!
