Advantage
Float mounts are typically more efficient than land-based systems due to the cooling effect of water. Solar panels tend to overheat on land, which can reduce their efficiency, but the water helps to keep them cool, leading to higher energy yields. The systems do not require valuable land resources, which can help to reduce conflicts over land use. This is particularly important in densely populated areas where land is at a premium. The systems can help to reduce evaporation from bodies of water, which is particularly important in arid regions where water is scarce. And can help to improve water quality by reducing the growth of algae and other aquatic plants.
Application
The systems are designed to be installed on bodies of water, such as lakes, reservoirs, and ponds etc. In arid regions with high rates of water evaporation, the systems can help to reduce the amount of water lost to evaporation by shading the water surface and lowering its temperature. And also can be used in off-grid applications, where access to land-based solar energy systems is limited or unavailable. They can provide a reliable source of renewable energy for remote locations, such as islands or coastal areas.
