New batch of Online Floating Solar Power Plant design provided by Advance Electrical Design and Engineering Institute register now

Floating Solar Power Plant(FFP) is group of solar PV Modules on a structure that floats on a body of water, typically an artificial basin or a lake. Solar energy is a clean and renewable alternative to fossil fuels, and floating solar provides even more benefits to resource intensive industries. With increasing interest in floating solar, also known as floating PV (photovoltaic) or FPV, studies have started emerging where the benefits of installing PV systems on water instead of land are examined.
