“…FSPV systems must comply with environmental regulations such as those related to water quality and wildlife protection [68], [69], [70] Some examples of specific policies related to FSPV in Asia include Japan, China, and India. By 2030, Japan aims to have 50 GW of installed renewable energy capacity, which will include floating solar photovoltaics [71].…”

This study provides a comprehensive overview of the risks and challenges associated with floating solar photovoltaic (FSPV) systems while identifying the best ways to promote the growth and success of this promising technology. Using a hazard identification and risk assessment methodology, this study categorizes risks into environmental, technical, regulatory, economic, and social risks. A risk assessment was conducted to determine the potential risks of a small-scale FSPV system in Philippine Lakes. Risks with high probability of occurrence and severity include health and safety, stability, installation and maintenance costs, and corrosion. This study proposes recommendations for mitigating these risks. This study also examines policies and programs from various countries that have successfully promoted the adoption of FSPV technology. Currently, countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea account for over 90% of the FSPV deployments. This study highlights the programs and incentives that accelerated FSPV deployments in these countries, such as the standard Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) "Build Plan," "Top Runner Program, and poverty alleviation program in China, significant FITs in Japan, and revised Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) and research and development (R&D) support in South Korea. Overall, this study provides valuable insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and other interested parties in the ongoing discussions of FSPV systems. Despite the risks and challenges associated with FSPV, the potential of this technology to play a significant role in the transition to a low-carbon, sustainable future cannot be ignored.INDEX TERMS Floating solar photovoltaic system, risk assessment, policy formulation, risks, and challenges in floating solar.

“…Review of literature Both integrated renewable energy systems and renewable energy systems are required in order to make use of the renewable supply that is now available [1,2]. Due to its capability of reducing dependency on nonrenewable resources, renewable energy sources play a significant role in the generation of electrical energy [3][4][5][6]. Renewable sources of energy are the most viable solution to the problem of meeting the growing demand for electricity (RE) [7,8].…”

India’s contributions to the development of alternative energy sources are substantial. India has almost tripled the capacity of its renewable energy installations over the last five to six years, with coastal wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) installations accounting for the vast bulk of this growth. Since land scarcity is a big challenge nowadays, it is an excellent idea to construct solar plants on rivers, lakes, and dams, which are otherwise idle water bodies. The progressive depletion of fossil resources and the ever-increasing need for electricity both pose serious obstacles to progress. The electricity generated by floating solar photovoltaic systems is significant. India has completed a number of large-scale projects, including the 100MW Ramagundam, Telangana project and the NTPC Simhadri Solar Plant. This investigation highlights the potential benefits and challenges of these plants. Feasibility analysis of 5MW FSPV at Somasila Dam, Andhra Pradesh is also done in this paper. Additional to this, the article gave the economic and technological analysis of floating solar photovoltaics, in addition to discussing several case studies.

“…However, terrestrial development of solar farms brings significant challenges legally and politically, given that this same land is competed for by other anthropomorphic interests such as farming etc and are often fraught with legal and licensing issues. In response to this, these solar farms traditionally earmarked for terrestrial development are being shifted into other domains such as the oceans [1] and even space [2]. Figure 1.…”

Solar photovoltaic farms are seeing increasing expansion into new domains (offshore) in order to harvest the sunlight as society pushes towards reaching Net Zero by 2050. However, photovoltaics are bound by physics, parameters such as temperature and strain varying result in changes in efficiency. Predictive maintenance through remote sensing can also save resources particularly in a domain where equipment and personnel are relatively expensive. This work represents the first investigation into the utilisation of Fibre Bragg Gratings (FBG) for offshore floating solar farms. It proposes a robust multiplexed network of FBG sensors to monitor these parameters in the harsh oceanic environment where equivalent electromechanical equivalents would fail. Using Super luminous LED (Light Emitting Diode), FBG interrogators, multiplexing techniques and the sensors themselves reliable, effective strain and temperature measurement can be made. A series of MATLAB simulations into how FBGs can be engineered to achieve these results were carried out. The findings suggest that applied to a select case study, 2 strain and 49 temperature sensors can be multiplexed on a single line of fibre. An experiment was also carried out that placed FBGs on an aluminum solar panel frame that suggests a bandwidth of 13.32μm would be needed to encompass the range in that specific study.
