Some countries could meet their total electricity needs from floating solar panels, research shows - EurekAlert
The study, by researchers from Bangor and Lancaster Universities and the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, aimed to calculate the global potential for deploying low-carbon floating solar arrays. The researchers calculated the daily electrical output for floating photovoltaics (FPV) on nearly 68,000 lakes and reservoirs around the world, using available climate data for each location. The potential annual electricity generation from FPV on lakes with the right conditions was 1302 terawatt hours (TWh), around four times the total annual electricity demand of the UK.
