Global Floating Solar Panels Market is estimated to reach $1,186 million by 2024; growing at a CAGR of 64.7% from 2016 to 2024. Floating solar panels are an arrangement of photovoltaic panels that are capable of floating on water bodies. These floating solar plants are capable of solving the issues involving lack of land which is now scarcely available in the world due to high in cost. These panels can be installed in any water bodies such as a lake, reservoir, river, and others and can also increase the amount of generation along with the cooling effect of water. Moreover, solar panels that are installed on land may reduce the yield as the land heats up, to which, a floating platform can reduce the heating problem to a great extent.

Global Floating Solar Panels Market Size and Forecast, 2015-2024 (US$ Million)

Scarcity of land and high cost of acquisition, high production capacity, and increasing need for clean energy sources are the key drivers propelling the growth of the global floating solar panels market. Moreover, increasing investments by governments, and declining panel cost also drives the market growth. However, high cost of installation could act as a major restraint for the market. Furthermore, increasing demand for high stability photovoltaic devices, rising R&D on potential applications of solar power, and market expansion would create immense market opportunities in the coming years.
