The global floating solar panels market size is anticipated to reach of around US$ 21,300 Mn by 2027 and grow at a CAGR of around 12% in terms of revenue during the forecast period 2020 – 2027.
Floating structures of solar power refer to the structure on water bodies of photovoltaic panels. It is a new way to use the water surface available for the production of solar energy from lakes, reservoirs and other water systems.
Market Insights
The major driving factors of the floating solar panel market are stringent legislation and increasing public programs, do not have to acquire vast quantities of land or increase electricity generation capacity. The steady decrease in the fossil fuel reserves and global warming has changed global energy consumption from conventional to renewable. Many countries have already initiated various clean energy programs and projects. A number of countries have built floating solar energy projects with the benefits of floating solar systems, including China, the US, UK, France, Australia, India and Brazil. Many of these countries offer the producers of floating solar panels tax incentives and direct capital subsidies. Inadequate infrastructure suppliers and land scarcity generate opportunities for development in the floating solar panels market. Than most of its opportunities, the main challenges on the floating Solar Panel market are huge installation and maintenance costs.
