Abstract

: Energy demand in this era has increased which led us to go for renewable energy sources; Solar energy with this respect can fulfill the energy demand. This paper aims at review of the existing floating solar plants worldwide with respect to their capacity. Floating solar plants can save the area for generation. Limitations to such power plant are land availability, land development & land acquisition, substation capacities, evacuation also timely clearances for the project on land and évacuation. These are hurdles for completion of the project. Most of the locations projected by the government considering solar radiation data in the country are hot and dry regions. Though at these locations the radiation appeared to be higher, the energy yield of these points is less due to heating of the solar panels and higher temperature of the surface of solar cells. To overcome these problems an innovative idea has come in front for installation of solar power plants on the water that is canal top, water bodies, lakes, dam backwater and reservoirs, which generally belongs to the government. This paper reveals review regarding the floating solar PV power plants installed in the world.
