Floating solar farms have moved from novelty to serious infrastructure, turning reservoirs, lakes and sheltered coastal waters into power plants. As solar capacity races past 1,200 G worldwide, ...

A new study has revealed that government-managed reservoirs have the potential to generate enough solar energy to power about 100 million homes in the US annually. For the first time, a survey done by ...

Floating solar panels placed on bodies of water can actually produce more power per square foot than land-based systems. But scientists still have a lot to learn about how this tech affects nature and ...

A massive open-sea solar plant is under construction in China, designed to power millions of homes and test how floating ...

French researchers have developed a high-resolution computational framework to model microclimate effects of large floating solar PV systems, enabling accurate predictions of heat transfer, ambient ...

Major installations now exist worldwide, from large hydropower reservoirs in China and India to water treatment ponds in the ...

Floating solar panels haven’t gained much traction in the United States, but they’re becoming more common in places like China and South Korea. A new study from Oregon State University suggests they ...

Berlin-based renewable energy firm Q Energy has secured €50mn in debt finance to complete work on Europe’s largest floating solar farm, set to power up next year. The plant is already under ...

With eighteen solar islands, Brazil's largest floating solar installation will use Tigo TS4-X-O MLPE devices for optimization, module-level monitoring, and safety. The project, designed and installed ...

While floating solar -- the emerging practice of putting solar panels on bodies of water -- is promising in its efficiency and its potential to spare agricultural and conservation lands, a new ...
