A single hectare of floating solar can generate 1-1. 4 GWh annually while the underlying water remains available for irrigation, aquaculture, or recreation. This dual-use approach maximizes resource efficiency in ways that land-based systems cannot match. Photovoltaic (PV) power generation plays an important role in the clean energy. In this paper, the floating photovoltaic system is divided into four categories: fixed pile photovoltaic system, floating photovoltaic. Modules: Same PV technology as ground-mount or rooftop PV, with the emerging potential for tracking and/or bifacial panels. Site: Typically sited on artificial waterbodies (e., reservoirs, retention ponds, etc. Large-scale PV installations require considerable space which is not always available in built-up urban or intensively used. Floating solar panels, also known as floating photovoltaics (FPV) or floatovoltaics, are solar energy systems designed to operate on water surfaces rather than land. The technology enables energy companies to expand solar power without taking up more land.
