Market Research Future Insights
The Global Floating Solar Panels Market is estimated to be worth USD 4.3 Billion by 2030, registering a 24.40% CAGR during the forecast period (2023- 2030).
Floating solar panels or floating photovoltaics are solar panels that are affixed to a structure that floats on a body of water, typically a reservoir or lake.
With the exception of the oddly small areas needed for the electrical cabinet and grid connections, the main advantage of floating photovoltaic plants is that they do not require any land.
They are just as expensive as plants that grow on land, but they offer a clever alternative to taking up the land. The use of floating solar panels has been emphasised as a practical and affordable substitute for photovoltaic systems that are installed on land. Using the available water surface on dams, reservoirs, and other bodies of water is a novel technique to produce solar energy.
The espousal of renewable energy and the initiatives taken by governments of diverse nations are prominent drivers in the global market. Floating solar panels are significantly superior to conventional panels as their maintenance costs are low, and they do not demand land for installation purposes. These aspects also act as drivers that boost the floating solar panels market growth.
Due to the reduction of natural resources such as crude oil, coal, and natural gas and the negative environmental effects of fossil resources, demand for renewable energy has been increasing. Solar energy is considered a renewable form of energy due to its widespread availability. Floating solar panels have several advantages over land-based solar panels. This is anticipated to increase demand for floating solar panels, especially in nations and regions with numerous bodies of water.
