Video : the case for floating solar plants is overwhelming Solar PV panels floating on water sounds like a bad idea but turns out to be a great idea. The Fully Charged Youtube channel got more on this. Enjoy !

#SolarPV is a great solution AND some are concerned about the massive amounts of space it can take up.

The logical step was to put solar panels on lakes and other water bodies. That's called #floatovoltaics and it could be a big part of our #energytransition.

Floatovoltaics is a great word! This can be a game changer for green energy. #solarpower #floatovoltaics #environment

Floating solar has massive potential in the US A new report outlines the country’s ample "floatovoltaics" opportunity. Floating solar arrays have already taken off in some Asian and European countries.

Switzerland is covering the Alps with solar panels, achieving the impossible: challenging everything we believed Switzerland has chosen one of the most popular renewable sources: solar energy. However, its major energy project goes far beyond standard land-based solar

Actually, it's more like floating solar aka #floatovoltaics. 🔌💡www.ecoticias.com/en/switzerland-covering-...

Floating Solar Panels Could Power Thousands of Cities Entirely, New Study Finds - EcoWatch Floating solar panels covering portions of water reservoirs could provide enough energy to power thousands of cities around the world.

Floating #Solar Panels Could Power 1000s of Cities - Study. Towns w/ <50K people worked best in fully meeting their electricity needs with #Floatovoltaics. ~15% of 1,045 cities of 1M would be able to meet electricity demand with this method.

Floating #solarpower could help fight #climatechange.

"Covering 10% of the world’s #hydropower reservoirs with ‘#floatovoltaics’ would install as much electrical capacity as is currently available for #fossilfuel power plants."
