摘要

The most predominant challenge in the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry is output power degradation with increasing temperatures. To cater to this problem, exponential innovations have been made in the PV industry. One such innovation albeit in infancy is known as floating photovoltaic (FPV). FPV technology is emerging as an economical alternative to land-based PV (LPV) systems. A floating solar photovoltaic (FPV) is placed directly above or on the surface of a water body, as opposed to on land or on building rooftops. It does not take up land; bodies of water exert cooling, reduced shading, reduced grid interconnection costs, reduced water evaporation, etc. This paper discusses the improvement of performance of FPV compared to LPV systems. Our power of 22% and a power gain of 0.19 W, thus proving that the FPV systems have higher efficiency than a land PV system.
