A Comprehensive Review of Floating Photovoltaic Technology (FPVT) and Its Applications to Improved Efficiency.

The development of floating solar technology (FPV) is driven by decarbonization ambitions, the shortage of usable land, efficiency loss at high working cell temperatures, and the need for energy security. In 2024, the growth rate of this technology is expected to surpass 31% because of a combination of government efforts and scientific developments. Global energy consumption is increasing due to population growth and technological progress. Because of the abundance of sunshine, there is an unparalleled need for solar energy to power electrical systems.
