Floating PV Systems

Floating PV Systems: Fundamentals and Recent Advances for All Types of Floating PV Systems provides the reader with a solid grounding in floating photovoltaics, offering all essential knowledge in one place.

The book addresses the key aspects of floating PV in turn, with chapters focusing on system design and structure, performance, modelling and simulations, reliability and monitoring systems, economic analysis, and environmental impact. Throughout the book, there is a focus on the challenges and opportunities in floating PV systems, and all types of FPV systems are considered, with analysis of differences and similarities between onshore and offshore technologies.

This is a valuable introductory text for all those with an interest in photovoltaics and solar energy, and specifically floating technology, including advanced students, researchers, scientists, lecturers, engineers, and policy makers.

• Covers design, structure, modelling, performance, reliability, economic analysis, and environmental impact
• Follows a highly structured, pedagogical approach, addressing key challenges and offering solutions
• Considers both offshore and onshore systems, discussing the differences and similarities
