Floating solar or floating photovoltaics (FPV), sometimes called floatovoltaics, are solar panels mounted on a structure that floats. The structures that hold the solar panels usually consist of plastic buoys and cables. They are then placed on a body of water. Typically, these bodies of water are reservoirs, quarry lakes.

Floating solar power plants represent a cutting-edge solution to the dual challenges of land scarcity and renewable energy demand. By utilizing water bodies such as reservoirs, lakes, and ponds, these innovative installations maximize energy production while minimizing land use.
Floating photovoltaic on an irrigation pond Floating solar or floating photovoltaics (FPV), sometimes called floatovoltaics, are solar panels mounted on a structure that floats. The structures that hold the solar panels usually consist of plastic buoys and cables. They are then placed on a body of water.
Floating solar systems can be installed in water bodies like oceans, lakes, lagoons, reservoir, irrigation ponds, waste water treatment plants, wineries, fish farms, dams and canals etc. A typical PV module converts 4–18% of the incident solar energy into electricity, depending upon the type of solar cells and climatic conditions.
The solar PV panels designed and installed to float on water bodies and generates power are called floating solar PV (FSPV) systems. The water bodies such as reservoirs, hydroelectric dams, industrial ponds, water treatment ponds, mining ponds, lakes, and lagoons can be used for setting up the FSPV systems.
Solar energy in the United States can power municipalities, factories, conservations, and residential homes. Floating renewable energy is an important step in the journey of U.S. clean energy initiatives. Solar data could supply up to 80% of U.S. electricity requirements, with floating solar being a significant addition to land-based systems.
