    Example of a possible system design, with several different designs and substructures being implemented in a test facility as part of the "PV2Float" project.

    Floating photovoltaics (FPV) refers to PV power plants whose modules are mounted on floating bodies on a body of water. The concept enables the expansion of renewable energies on artificial lakes without occupying scarce land areas. Flooded former opencast lignite mines alone offer a technical potential of about 26 GWP of installed capacity, assuming an occupancy of 0.6 MW/ha. In »PV2FLOAT«, an interdisciplinary team is investigating the opportunities and challenges of floating PV in order to create the technical, ecological and socio-economic conditions for tapping this potential. The project is dedicated to the further development of floating PV power plants with a view to cost reduction, integration into spatial planning and sustainable implementation on a megawatt scale. The economic viability and ecological impact as well as the potential and acceptance of the technology are analyzed with a focus on the conditions in Germany. The development and installation of several FPV systems with different system designs and each with an output of approx. 30 kWp on an open-cast mining lake in Lusatia form the basis for holistic concepts in terms of practicality, economic viability, environmental compatibility and social acceptance. | Duration: 05/2021 - 10/2024
