GLOBAL FLOATING SOLAR PANELS MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2023 - 2030)

A floating solar panel is a solar power generation system that floats on the surface of water sucas a lake, reservoir, quarry pond, or estuary. It helps generate solar power without consuming valuable land space and also offers a variety of environmental benefits. Continuously falling solar panel prices  and increasing awareness of renewable energy sources are driving the global adoption of floating solar panel systems.

This market is expected to grow significantly in the near future due to supportive regulatory framework and reduced energy costs for floating solar power systems. Floating solar panels are photovoltaic  panels that are mounted on floating structures in bodies of water, usually lakes or reservoirs. This new technology offers several important advantages over traditional ground-mounted solar panels.Installing solar panels on water saves valuable land  for other uses. Large bodies of water also act as natural heat sinks, helping the panels function efficiently as they cool.

Additionally, the reflective water surface reflects more sunlight to the bottom of the panel, improving performance by approximately 10%. As countries strive to meet renewable energy goals and combat climate change, floating solar energy is gaining interest as a promising complementary approach.

Market Dynamics:

The key drivers contributing to the growth of floating solar panels market are decline in solar module prices, growing focus on reduction of carbon footprint, technological advancements in floating technology, rise in water surface area suitable for floating solar installations, dual usage of water reservoirs, and government incentives and investments.
