NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global demand for floating solar energy market was valued at USD 106.85 million in 2017, and is expected to account for USD 584.27 million by 2024, while actuating at an estimated CAGR of 28.0% from 2018 to 2024. The growth is primarily attributed to the difficulty faced in land acquisitions and increased efficiency of solar panels due to cooling effect of water. Moreover, rising investments in R&D by key players, along with various government initiatives to promote the adoption of floating solar technology are expected to augment the market demand over the forecast period.
The floating solar energy system consists of panels that are installed on water bodies, such as irrigation ponds, reservoirs, lakes, canals, and ocean. The floating solar energy system comprises of FRP floating system, module mounting structure, PV/CSP modules, inverters (DC to AC), mooring system to adjust fluctuations in water level, and other cables and equipment. Solar panels installed on water bodies are naturally cooled, resulting in improved efficiency and reduced stress on the system. The floating energy systems also reduce the rate of evaporation of fresh water bodies, resulting in the conservation of water. Solar systems installed on reservoirs, irrigation canals, and lakes result in reduction in formation of algae, thus reducing water contamination.
Key findings from the report:
By capacity, small-scale segment expected to witness fastest growth during 2018-2024
The small-scale segment experienced a significant rate from 2014 to 2017, and is expected to register the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The advent of floating solar technology has led to the installation of pilot projects below 100kW capacity. Governments of developing nations are presenting expression of interest (EOI) to get an estimate of incorporating floating solar technology in their utility grid infrastructure. Small-scale plants are often installed in the first stage of developing a large or medium scale floating solar power plant to test the generation capacity of the plant within the parameters of the climate conditions of the selected area. Additionally, small-scale floating solar plants are also installed by businesses.
