Producing renewable energy
without occupying valuable land
Floating solar energy plants are a cutting-edge technology that utilize the power of the sun and water to yield significant environmental benefits.
The principle of offshore solar arrays is simple. A cluster of floating photovoltaic panels is mounted together on a sturdy platform and anchored to the bed or shoreline of an otherwise unused body of water. These solar-powered islands make it possible to generate renewable energy without taking up space on land needed for other purposes.
The added benefit is the cooling effect of the water, which increases the efficiency of the floating solar PV panels. The structure itself also shades the water underneath, which reduces evaporation and curbs algae growth.
The popularity of floating solar in locales around the globe has been growing in recent years. The researchers at Global Industry Analysts expect to see the market reach 4.8 GW by 2026, up from 1.6 GW only five years earlier.
