Assessment of floating solar photovoltaic potential in India''s

Installing floating solar photovoltaic (FSPV) plants in existing hydropower reservoirs would increase the hydropower share and reduce evaporation losses. FSPV is also assisting the country in meeting the net-zero carbon emission target and India''s rapidly rising population''s current and future energy needs.

Floating solar or floating photovoltaics (FPV), sometimes called floatovoltaics, are solar panels mounted on a structure that floats. The structures that hold the solar panels usually consist of plastic buoys and cables. They are then placed on a body of water. Typically, these bodies of water are reservoirs, quarry lakes, irrigation canals or remediation and tailing ponds.

A comparative study of floating and ground-mounted photovoltaic

This study utilizes typical meteorological year data to comprehensively analyze four distinct locations in India. By using a single-diode model, this study finds that floating photovoltaic systems provide 6–7 % more power output

New study calculates 207 GWp of floating solar

A new report prepared under the Indo-German Technical Cooperation on Innovative Solar (IN Solar) shows that the inland still water bodies in India have the technical potential to host 206.7 GWp of floating solar PV
