SWOT analysis of floating solar plants

Abstract

Floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems are an emerging technology suitable for energy generation in water bodies. Especially since floating photovoltaic system has its facility floating on water surface, it is extremely important to review the present status and future needs for techno innovations for solar power generation with value-added applications. The paper focuses on SWOT i.e. strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats areas for economic growth and increased use of floating solar technology.
