Floating photovoltaics (FPV) is emerging as a promising renewable energy technology which enables the production of electricity on surface waters. While this technology could potentially make an important contribution to the energy transition, the current uncertainty about the water quality effects of …

Floating photovoltaics (FPV) is emerging as a promising renewable energy concept in which solar panels are installed on floating infrastructure to enable the production of renewable energy on water. While the body of knowledge on technical, financial and environmental aspects is expanding steadily, so …

From the start of the energy transition is has been believed that the development of wind power as a renewable source of electricity was vital for reaching the climate goals related to the decarbonization of the energy sector. The LCOE variable is globally applied when comparing the cost for the use …

The rapid implementation of large scale floating solar panels has consequences to water quality and local ecosystems. Environmental impacts depend on the dimensions, design and proportions of the system in relation to the size of the surface water, as well as the characteristics of the water system (currents, …

Het zuurstofgehalte in het water onder het grootste drijvende zonnepark van Europa is in een jaar tijd vrijwel niet gedaald. Dat blijkt uit de eerste resultaten van een onderzoek naar de waterkwaliteit in de Bomhofsplas bij Zwolle, die sinds vorig jaar overkapt wordt door 72.000 zonnepanelen.
