World Bank’s report, “Unlocking the Potential of Floating Solar Photovoltaics in India” led by Surbhi Goyal, highlights untapped 4 TW global capacity in inland waters. Asia, particularly China and India, anticipates substantial FPV growth. Short-term Indian goals focus on inland waters, with long-term plans for offshore expansion. To achieve 2-3 GW annual installations in three…
GCL SI and Ocean Sun recently commissioned a 270 kW a demonstration floating solar project called BOOST at La Palma’s Tazacorte port. Since 2018, both companies collaborated closely to develop tailored PV modules, especially for Ocean Sun’s membrane based floating solar solution, subjected to rigorous testing with TÜV Rheinland. GCL supported the project by supply tailor…
Recom Technologies, in collaboration with Derex, has developed Latvia’s first FPV with a 2.1 MW capacity. The station will power the ‘Sloka’ wastewater treatment plant in Jurmala, Latvia, reducing electricity costs for ‘Jūrmalas ūdens’ by 40% by generating its own energy. With a 30-year service life, the station aims to cut 231,657 tonnes of CO2…
The floating photovoltaic project developed by D3Energy, at Duke Energy Hines Complex in Florida, USA, is now connected to the grid, generating 1MW of power with 1,872 high-performance Talesun modules. It efficiently powers 100+ households annually, saves land resources, and boosts panel efficiency through water cooling.
