Floating Solar PV system
Maximizing Clean Energy While Saving Land and Protecting Water Resources
The Way We Work
Turning Water Surfaces into Power Sources
Floating solar, also known as Floating Photovoltaic (FPV), is a modern solar power technology where solar panels are installed on floating structures over water bodies such as lakes, reservoirs, ponds, and dams. Instead of taking up valuable land, these systems utilize unused water surfaces to produce renewable electricity.
How Floating Solar Works
- Solar panels are mounted on specially designed floating platforms.
- The platforms are anchored to prevent drifting due to wind or water movement.
- Electricity generated is transmitted through underwater cables to the grid or local facilities.
- The water below naturally cools the panels, helping them generate more power compared to land-based systems.
Benefits of Floating Solar
Saves Land Space – No need for large land areas, making it ideal for densely populated countries..
Higher Efficiency – Water cools the panels, improving performance and reducing heat losses.
Reduces Water Evaporation – Panels provide shade, lowering evaporation from reservoirs and ponds.
Environment Friendly – Minimizes land disturbance and supports sustainable energy goals.
Hybrid Use – Can be combined with hydropower reservoirs for stable and large-scale energy production.
- Scalable – From small irrigation ponds to large-scale floating solar farms, it fits many applications.
In short, hybrid solar solutions provide the best of both worlds—clean, renewable energy from the sun with the reliability of stored or backup power, making it ideal for areas with unstable grids or industries that cannot afford downtime.

Process of Floating Solar Installation and Operation
The future of energy lies in clean, reliable, and sustainable power systems—and hybrid solar solutions are at the center of this transformation. By combining solar power with battery storage and backup sources, hybrid systems overcome the limitations of traditional solar setups and provide uninterrupted energy around the clock.
For a country like Bangladesh, where industries and communities often face grid instability, hybrid solar is not just an alternative—it’s a necessity. It reduces dependency on imported fossil fuels, ensures energy security, and drives down operational costs while contributing to a greener environment. Hybrid solar solutions enable industries, businesses, and households to harness the abundant power of the sun without worrying about outages or fluctuations. They represent more than technology—they represent resilience, independence, and progress.
1. Site Selection
- Choose suitable water bodies like reservoirs, lakes, irrigation ponds, or hydropower dams.
- Check water depth, wave strength, and environmental impact.
2. Design & Engineering
- Plan the floating structure layout.
- Select solar panels, floats, anchoring systems, and underwater cables.
3. Floating Platform InstallationÂ
- Deploy high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or similar durable floating structures.
- Assemble floats to hold solar panels safely on water.
4. Solar Panel Mounting
- Fix solar panels onto the floating platforms.
- Ensure panels are positioned at the right angle for maximum sunlight capture.
5. Anchoring & Mooring
- Secure the floating system using anchors and ropes so it stays stable against wind, current, and waves.
6. Electrical Connections
- Connect panels to inverters placed either on shore or on floating units.
- Use underwater cables to transfer electricity to the grid or facility.
7. Power Generation
- Panels absorb sunlight – convert into electricity – transferred to grid or local use.
- Cooling effect of water increases panel efficiency.
8. Operation & Maintenance (O&M)
- Regular inspection of floats, anchoring, and electrical connections.
- Cleaning of panels (less dust than land systems, but bird droppings and algae can affect performance).
