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 […]
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 […]
Although this power plant has low capacity, it is an offshore floating solar power plant and can start the spark to build similar projects in the same region. This power plant has the capacity of […]
Floating PV cumulative capacity globally reached over 1 GW in mid-2018 & since there is more and more news on new projects. But what are the motives behind this growth? Well “land” is priceless, for […]
BayWa r.e , BayWa’s renewable energy, is a subsidiary company of BayWa undertook to install and commission the Netherland’s largest floating solar power plant (FSPP). According to RenewableEnergyMagazine, the Sekdoorn project in the Netherlands, near […]
Some of the environmentalists have been criticizing solar photovoltaics (PV) for the additional space occupied. Especially they focus on the effects of ground-mounted solar systems. As a solution for this challenge, we can put forward […]
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) says it is thinking about developing floating renewable energy plants in the Persian Gulf. On June 9 it launched a search for consultants who can advise it on the […]
Floating solar or FPV (Floating photovoltaic), refers to an array of solar panels on a structure that floats on a body of water, typically an artificial basin or a lake. This technology has had rapid […]
