Floating solar plants have become the latest trend in energy production. They generate electricity by harnessing solar power from panels floating on bodies of water such as lakes, dams, reservoirs, and oceans.
Also, FSPs reduce evaporation and take advantage of the cooling effect of water which increases the efficiency of the solar panels.
The world's earliest floating photovoltaic system appeared in Oakville, California, in 2008.
The Far Niente Winery pioneered by installing 994 solar PV modules with an output of 477 kW onto 130 pontoons and floating them on the winery's irrigation pond.
Floating solar plants are more than just a novel idea; they're a practical and powerful tool in the fight against climate change. Of course, it's important to remember that floating solar plants are a small piece of the whole puzzle.
