Frequently Asked Questions
A floating solar power plant is an array of photovoltaic solar panels mounted on floating structures rather than land-based structures. Solar panels are fixed to floats/pontoons, which are in turn anchored and moored in a body of water. Floating solar arrays can be mounted on reservoirs, dams, lakes, industrial ponds, and many other water bodies.
A floating solar power plant is similar to a ground-mounted solar power plant that harnesses solar energy using photovoltaics. The main difference is that the solar panels are mounted on floating solar structures, which include floating pontoons, anchoring systems, electrical components, and access arrangements specifically designed for floating conditions.
The standard floating solar power plant includes solar PV panels, floats/HDPE floats, structural connections, an anchoring and mooring system, cables, combiner boxes, inverters, transformers, and grid-interconnection equipment. Heavy electrical equipment may also be installed on larger projects using ferrocement barges and other utility barges.
One of the benefits of floating solar is that it allows solar energy to be generated without utilizing significant amounts of land. Floating solar power plants may also benefit from the cooling effects of water and can reduce water evaporation from the surfaces they cover. The exact benefits depend on the specific characteristics of each location and the technology used.
Floating solar panels in India can be set up at suitable reservoirs, dams, lakes, canals, mining water bodies, and industrial reservoirs. Before designing any project, however, each location has to be assessed for its suitability in terms of water-level changes, wind and wave regime, bathymetry, water chemistry, anchoring, environmental considerations, and grid availability.
The cost per MW of a floating solar power plant varies depending on the project conditions. In addition to the capacity of the plant, the type of structure, water depth, water-level variation, anchoring, electrical configuration, proximity to existing grid infrastructure, water conditions, and access requirements affect the cost of the project. Hence, a feasibility study should be conducted before determining the cost per MW.
In most cases, both terms refer to a system of solar panels deployed on a water body. “Floating solar plant” is commonly used when referring to engineering or utility projects, while “floating solar farm” is often used for large-scale projects.
Site feasibility is usually the first step for any floating solar project. Important parameters include reservoir geometry and bathymetry, water-level variations, water quality, wind and wave loads, soil anchoring for a soil bottom or bank anchoring, surface area availability, and electrical evacuation and construction access. This evaluation forms part of the pre-engineering and site analysis performed by Floatex.
