New research from India shows how bifacial solar modules should be deployed to achieve strong performance in floating PV projects planned on tropical freshwater. Their experimental setup demonstrated ...

As renewable energy demand intensifies, floating PV (FPV) technology represents an innovative approach to generating solar energy and have gained popularity globally. Situated on bodies of water such ...

The carbon footprint of the floating systems tested was about 15% higher than that of the ground-mounted system with the east-west orientation modelled. Image: BayWa re. The carbon footprint produced ...

Fields turned over to solar farms are becoming a more common sight as we look towards a zero-carbon future. But like wind turbines, massive PV installations may soon be heading offshore. China is ...

From a small California winery to a large-scale energy project in China, floating photovoltaics — or “floatovoltaics”— are gaining in popularity. Commonly installed over artificial water bodies, from ...

The AU$13 million project is called ‘Novel Energy and Evaporative Storage Technologies for Irrigators’. Image: Melanie Jenson (CRDC). A five-year research initiative is underway in Australia to test ...

How might floating solar energy projects impact wild birds and vice versa? A paper outlines key considerations for a growing floating solar industry. From a small California winery to a large-scale ...
