Floating Solar, a Netherland-based Solar PV company, is not the only company who its floating photovoltaic system passed the storm conditions test. Ocean Sea’s 17 kW FPV system, which was the first offshore floating solar […]
In this article, we aim at comparing floating photovoltaic (FPV) with ground-mounted solar photovoltaic. The comparison is based-on parameters such as land-use efficiency (LUE), energy yield, water evaporation, and local utilization of energy for these […]
According to a recent report from the World Bank, the global potential of FPV, even under moderate assumptions, is 400 Gigawatt all over the world. Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) firstly appeared as an option to extend […]
A study commissioned by BayWa r.e. and done by Fraunhofer ISE, shows that Germany holds 56 GW theoretical potential for floating photovoltaic (FPV) power plants on lignite opencast mines. Dr. Andreas Bett, director of Fraunhofer […]
Fitch Solutions estimated that 10GW of new floating photovoltaic (FPV) capacity will be added by 2025. We have already reported that until the end of August 2020, cumulative FPV capacity reached 2.6 GW. Thus, after […]
The Smarter E jury introduced the final candidates of the InterSolar Award 2020. As usual, there are 10 finalists on the final list. we can categorize them into the 5 main categories including PV manufacturer, […]
The share of floating solar in the global annual installation of solar power was less than 1% in 2018, however, that year this sector faced the steepest increase in its annual added capacity. According to […]
On September 9th of 2019 typhoon number 15 hit the Chiba prefecture and Yamakura dam that holds the country’s largest floating solar farm. The typhoon destroyed two-thirds of the plant and caused fire in some […]
Companies Saipem and Equinor have signed an agreement to build a nearshore floating solar power plant. “The technology is a modular concept designed for easy fabrication, which is based on an idea developed by Moss […]
Ocean Sea One project, the first offshore floating solar farm in the Dutch North Sea, was able to survive from several winter storms including harsh Ciara storm intact. In the early days of the last […]
