The quest for space-efficient renewable solutions has led to one of the most innovative technologies in recent years — Floating Solar PV. By installing solar modules on water bodies, developers can generate clean energy without competing for valuable land resources.
Why Floating Solar Matters
Floating solar projects utilize lakes, reservoirs, and dams to host solar panels on buoyant platforms. The natural cooling effect of water improves energy output, while shading reduces evaporation — a key environmental benefit.
SgurrEnergy, a global leader in solar PV and design engineering, brings specialized expertise to design and execute floating solar projects that meet the highest safety and performance standards.
