Floating Solar in India: A Rising Star in Renewable Energy

  India is rapidly transforming its energy landscape by embracing innovative renewable energy solutions. One such groundbreaking development is the floating solar power plant , where solar panels are installed on water bodies instead of land. With limited availability of land in densely populated regions, floating solar has emerged as a promising alternative. India is already making significant strides in this space, with numerous projects underway. What Are Floating Solar Panels? Floating PV (Photovoltaic) panels are solar panels installed on platforms that float on water bodies, such as reservoirs, lakes, canals, or even coastal areas. These panels function similarly to traditional land-based solar systems but offer additional benefits like reduced evaporation from water bodies and better efficiency due to the cooling effect of water. Floating PV panels have gained significant traction in India, thanks to the country's abundant water resources and ambitious renewable energy goals...
