Global Floating Solar Panel Industry was valued at USD 163.20 Million in the year 2017. Global Floating Solar Panel Industry is further projected to grow at a CAGR of 35.42% from 2017 to reach USD 1847.69 Million by the year 2025. Asia Pacific region holds the highest Industry share in 2017 and Asia Pacific Industry is considered as the fastest growing Industry in the forecasted period. At country level China, Japan and India hold the highest Industry share in 2016 and it is projected to grow at a strongly in the coming years.[1]
Floating solar photovoltaic (PV) installations open up new opportunities for scaling up solar generating capacity, especially in countries with high population density and competing uses for available land. They have certain advantages over land-based systems, including utilization of existing electricity transmission infrastructure at hydropower sites, close proximity to demand centers (in the case of water supply reservoirs), and improved energy yield thanks to the cooling effects of water and the decreased presence of dust. The exact magnitude of these performance advantages has yet to be confirmed by larger installations, across multiple geographies, and over time, but in many cases they may outweigh any increase in capital cost.
