Floating solar refers to the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on bodies of water, such as lakes, reservoirs, ponds, or even the sea. Instead of placing solar panels on land, floating solar panels are mounted on floating structures, which can be anchored or tethered to the waterbed. This approach offers several advantages compared to traditional ground-mounted solar installations
The anchoring system is a critical component in the installation of floating solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. It is responsible for securing the floating solar panels in place on the water surface. Various anchoring systems are employed in floating solar projects, and the choice depends on factors such as the water body's characteristics, local environmental conditions, and the specific requirements of the project.
