Land availability is often a barrier to solar expansion, especially in densely populated regions. A groundbreaking solution has emerged: floating solar PV. By installing solar panels on reservoirs, lakes, and other water bodies, this technology offers a new dimension for renewable growth.
Floating solar offers several advantages. The water surface keeps panels cool, improving efficiency compared to land-based systems. It reduces evaporation, preserving precious water resources. With proper infrastructure planning, these systems can be seamlessly integrated with existing power grids.
Detailed engineering ensures structural stability and long-term performance of floating platforms. Additionally, SgurrEnergy’s project management services help deliver these projects on time and within budget.
Floating solar is also a natural partner for hydropower dams, allowing shared transmission infrastructure and optimizing existing assets. With global interest surging, this technology is set to become a major contributor to renewable portfolios.
By unlocking untapped water surfaces, floating solar expands the possibilities of clean power generation—paving the way for a future where every available space contributes to sustainability.
