Floating photovoltaic, a new frontier for renewable energy
As the demand for solar energy grows, floating solar photovoltaics (FPVs) are emerging as a key solution to land constraints. New research suggests that installing FPVs on just 10% of suitable water bodies could generate enough electricity to meet 16% of some countries’ energy needs. With additional benefits such as reducing water loss and improving … Continue reading Floating photovoltaic, a new frontier for renewable energy
