Floating solar power plant

Abstract

The constant depletion of the fossil fuels and high energy demand focuses us to renewable energy sources which are not only the future unlimited source of energy, it is also eco-friendly and sustainable for the environment. Even though solar power generation has several advantages over other forms of electricity generation, the major problem is the requirement of land which is scarcely available in the world and its cost. A new era in solar power i.e., floating solar power plants will solve this issue. This floating solar plant can be installed in any water bodies which will not only decrease the cost of the land but also will raise the amount of generation with the cooling effect of water. This paper presents the technical details of floating solar power plants. The floating solar involves solar panels and other components that are fitted onto a platform with hollow plastic or tin drums that enable it to float on water. The benefits of floating power plants will be presented
