The uses of floating solar farms mainly include the following aspects:
Saving land space: Floating solar farms are installed on the surface of water bodies such as lakes and reservoirs, which can effectively save precious land space. This is particularly important for countries and regions with limited land resources, such as the Netherlands and Japan.
Powering remote areas: Floating solar farms are able to provide electricity to remote areas. For example, remote islands in Indonesia can be powered by floating solar farms, solving the problem of high costs for cable connections and wind turbines.
Improve power generation efficiency: Floating solar farms use the natural cooling effect of water bodies to improve power generation efficiency. For example, the Netherlands' "Sun-following" floating power plant uses solar tracking technology to generate 40% more energy than non-moving solar panels on land on sunny days.
Environmental protection and tourism: Floating solar farms can not only generate electricity, but can also be designed as tourist attractions to attract tourists. For example, Thailand plans to design natural walkways near floating solar farms to make them a new tourist highlight.
