What are the Pros and Cons
18
Due to the cooling effect of the water on both the panels and theelectrical equipment, all water resistant, floating solar plants areexpected to yield a higher power output than conventional solarinstallations, thus the return on investment is higher.
As per a study conducted in Korea, comparing two Floating PVplants of 100 kWp & 500 kWp each with equivalent respectiveground mounted PV systems, it was reported that daily averagegeneration (kWh) of the FPV plants were approximately 10%higher compared to the land based systems.
Similar study was conducted by the Solar Energy ResearchInstitute of Singapore (SERIS).

The city poured 96 million, black, four-inch plastic balls over the surface of its 175-acre reservoir earlier this week - the first city in the country to use shade balls to preserve its water sources,

Environment impacts Minimize water evaporation, conservewater by lowering the water temperature and reducing the size ofthe water area exposed to air, floating solar panels can reducewater evaporation by up to 33% on natural lakes and ponds, andby to 50% on man-made facilities.
The systems can also improve water quality. As water bodies areexposed to the sun, photosynthesis promotes growth of organicmatter, including algae. By shading the water, algae growth isreduced, minimizing the associated treatment and labor costs.
Preserves existing ecosystems There is no excavation work,concrete foundation or banks occupation necessary.
Most of the systems are supported on HDPE blocks; can safely beinstalled on drinking water reservoirs.
Generally anchors require no excavation and have no impact onexisting ecosystems

Cons or points to consider:
Environmental Impact on Floating PV System
Occurrence of Wave Due to Wind Velocity
Wind Speed’s Effect on Structure
Effect of Wind Speed on Power Generation Amount
Challenges for installing floating PV: a) Electrical equipment, modules and wiring, must be water resistant. b) Effects on the environment, mainly water quality, must be considered, and the annual fluctuation in reservoir water levels must be taken into when constructing the system.
