floating solar

Emirati state-owned renewable energy project developer Masdar has entered the Philippines market with plans to develop 1GW of solar PV, wind and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

The potential of floating solar (FPV) generation capacity on US reservoirs is estimated at up to 1TW, according to a study from the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Masdar plans to develop including over 6GW of new solar capacity and 4GW of new solar manufacturing capacity in Egypt.

WoodMackenzie has forecast floating solar PV (FPV) installations to reach 77GW by 2033, with 1.7GW of capacity additions in 2024.

Indian developer Tata Power Renewable Energy has commissioned a 126MW floating solar (FPV) plant in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, India.

State-owned China Energy Investment Corporation (CHN Energy) has completed a 1GW floating solar PV facility in the Shandong Province of China.

Chinese solar manufacturer Huasun has secured a bid to supply 1GW of heterojunction (HJT) modules to a floating solar PV (FPV) project in China.

Floating solar (FPV) systems from D3Energy, a US-based FPV developer, have withstood the impact of Hurricane Milton in Florida, US.

Once operational, the project will be the largest of its kind in Europe, according to the renewables developer.

The idea of stationing PV systems at sea is rapidly gaining traction as an exciting new opportunity for the industry.
