Abstract

Floating solar, which is the installation of photovoltaic (PV) systems on water bodies, is a nascent, yet fast-growing PV deployment option, with a terawatt-scale market potential globally. Singapore has contributed significantly to the research in floating solar application on inland fresh water reservoirs by building the world’s largest floating solar testbed. In this paper, we give an overview of floating solar technologies, and highlight some learnings and research findings from the testbed. We quantified the cooling effect on water and its benefits on energy yield of the PV systems. We also discuss some issues and pitfalls to avoid. Going forward, offshore floating solar is the next frontier with significant opportunities.
