European renewable energy generator Statkraft, in collaboration with Norwegian supplier Ocean Sun, has started commercial operations at the first unit of its floating solar project in Albania. The project is placed at the Banja reservoir in Albania, where Statkraft is operating its 72MW Banja hydropower plant. After the successful completion of the first floating solar […]
Floating Solar Ready for Take-Off
Whether floating or hanging, solar panels have the potential to both provide electricity and reduce evaporation from reservoirs. The world’s largest array of floating solar panels in China’s Anhui province. It is an idea that may have found its moment. Droughts are crippling power supplies from many hydroelectric dams across Africa, with dwindling reservoirs evaporating […]
Floating Solar Ready for Take-Off
Whether floating or hanging, solar panels have the potential to both provide electricity and reduce evaporation from reservoirs. It is an idea that may have found its moment. Droughts are crippling power supplies from many hydroelectric dams across Africa, with dwindling reservoirs evaporating in the hot sun. So, say researchers, why not tap that sun? […]

SEACEF invests in 500MW floating solar + storage in Vietnam
Clime Capital, a Singapore-based investment management company that manages funds from SEACEF, announced that it has invested in an innovative floating solar and storage project in Dong Nai Province, Vietnam, currently under development by Blueleaf Energy. Southeast Asia Clean Energy Facility (SEACEF) is a collaboration between leading international foundations, including Microsoft, that seeks to accelerate […]
Land-starved Singapore Turns to Floating Solar
BANGKOK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Singapore is betting on floating solar farms and vertical panels to increase its clean-energy supplies and cut carbon emissions, a model that could work in other densely populated cities, urban experts said. With renewable energy options such as wind, hydro, nuclear and biomass ruled out, solar photovoltaic (PV) is the […]
Floating Solar Panels On the Rise- Worldwide finance
The increasing investments of the panel manufacturers and installers in developing a durable, stable, and reliable solar tracking technology. As part of our mission to constantly evolve and find innovative energy solutions, we have invested in the ‘Floating Solar Panels’ technology. Solar panels need to be affixed to a buoyant structure that keeps them above […]
PODCAST: Floating solar riding the crest of a wave and the rise of long-duration energy storage
A 102MW floating PV project in a coal mine subsidence area of China’s Anhui Province. The April 2021 episode of the Solar Media Podcast, sponsored by Honeywell, is now available to stream, featuring lessons from Asia on how to push floating solar forward. Liam Stoker, Andy Colthorpe and Jules Scully also discuss the continued rise […]
Lessons can be learnt from China’s support for floating solar, Sungrow says
A Chinese government policy that resulted in hundreds of megawatts of floating PV projects deployed on flooded coal mines could be replicated elsewhere, according to Sungrow. Through the Top Runner programme, the country’s National Energy Agency issued a tender in 2016 for the installation of 1GWp of floating PV (FPV) in coal mine subsidence areas, […]
Floating solar panels on 1% of reservoirs ‘could double’ Africa’s hydropower capacity
Floating solar could be a valuable tool to help African nations expand their power infrastructure sustainably, according to a new study and an energy expert. If panels covered 1% of reservoirs, this alone could double African hydropower capacity and increase electricity generation from dams by 50%. But unknowns remain, such as the impacts on water […]
