Abstract

In recent years, electricity consumption growth, reduction of fossil resources and environmental issues have led to an increase in energy production by photovoltaic systems. One of the applications of solar photovoltaics is solar power plants, which have been expanded in recent years due to better performance in water cooling and consequently reduced water evaporation. In this study, as an introduction to the technology of floating solar power plants, the advantages and disadvantages of different solar power plants, especially the floating solar power plant, the mechanism of floating solar power plants and the equipment related have been investigated. In addition to energy generation, this system provides some advantages over the land-based system such as decrease in land and the water use and increase in the efficiency of the module. This study comprehensively reviews the literature and then proposes a practical framework to evaluate the potential of using floating solar photovoltaic (FSPV).
