OverviewAdvantagesHistoryMarine installationsLake installationsInstallationTechnological innovationsDisadvantagesSeveral factors support this approach: • No land occupancy – The main advantage of floating PV plants is that they do not take up any land, except the limited surfaces necessary for electric cabinet and grid connections. Their price is comparable with land based plants, but floatovoltaics provide a good way to avoid land consumption.
