Advantages and Disadvantages of Floating Solar Plants
With the rising interest in solar plants as a power source, the technology for this renewable
energy option continues to advance at a rapid pace. It is a popular choice across residential,
commercial and industrial developments. There are also different types of solar power plants
apart from the common rooftop solar and ground mount solar placements. One such unique
alternative, floating solar panels are gaining popularity for various reasons.
Floating solar panels are placed within lakes or other such still water bodies, fixed to a
structure that keeps them above the surface of the water. The first patent for this type of
floating solar technology was registered just recently in 2008. Since then, it has caught the
attention of renowned construction companies and has been gaining popularity as a new
alternative to other solar power plants.
But, let’s take a closer look at what the pros and cons of this alternative are.
Disadvantages of Floating Solar Plants
● These panels cannot be placed in any type of water body like in the sea, river, or
turbulent waters. The waves disrupt the angular position of the panels while wind
speeds also impact the amount of electricity that is generated.
● A major disadvantage is the cost of installation since this new technology requires an
elaborate structure to stay supported in the water.
● Securing profitability could also be challenging considering the large cost.
Advantages of Floating Solar Plants
● This is a good alternative to generate renewable energy in areas with minimal land
space.
● These panels have low maintenance costs which makes up for the installation cost in
the long run.
● These panels can also be moved based on the position of the sun and help to save
water by decreasing the amount of water evaporation.
● The cooling effect created by the water helps to maintain the temperature of the silicon
panel.
● Owners of the water can benefit from the rent and easier maintenance of the reservoir
since floating solar inhibits algae growth in the water.
