The Rise of Floating Solar Technology in India
As the world grapples with climate change and a growing demand for clean energy, innovation in renewable energy has taken center stage. One of the most promising advancements in recent years is floating solar technology —a solution that utilizes water bodies to generate electricity through solar panels mounted on floating platforms. India, with its ambitious renewable energy targets and vast network of reservoirs, lakes, and dams, is emerging as a key player in this space. The country’s geography and climate make it an ideal candidate for scaling this innovative technology, and several floating solar companies in India are already leading the charge. What is Floating Solar Technology? Floating solar, also known as floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems, involves installing solar panels on water bodies like lakes, reservoirs, and industrial water storage facilities. These floating solar arrays are anchored to ensure they stay in place and can be scaled depending on the size of the w...
