Floating PV is a growing solar solution, which sees solar panels installed on a floating system or structure, on an inland or marine water body. SolarPower Europe has launched its report ‘Floating PV Best Practices Guidelines’ to support the growing interest in the technology.

The report aims to catalogue best practices and expertise. This publication serves as a handbook to drive high-quality floating PV projects, by creating and strengthening floating PV knowledge sharing. Within this report, over 30 experts from SolarPower Europe’s Land Use and Permitting Workstream have illustrated their knowledge of floating PV best practices through technical guidance and real-world examples. 

The report includes an overview of the floating PV market at the global and European level, floating PV benefits, guidance for project developers, global best practices, a detailed chapter on the technical application of floating PV, and a dedicated chapter on offshore solar.
