6 FAQs about [Floating Solar Project Costs]

How much does a floating solar project cost?

The cost of setting up a floating solar project is higher than terrestrial solar projects. It is because floating solar panels are more expensive than ground-mounted panels. Presently, the cost of setting up a floating solar project of 1 MW output is between ₹ 50 million to 60 million (i.e., around USD 630,000 to 765,500).

Are floats more expensive than ground-mounted solar projects?

Together, mounting system, which include floats, and BoP costs are higher as a proportion of capex for a floating solar project, compared with a ground-mounted one. For floating PV, BoP and mounting system costs account for 39% of total capex investment, compared with 29% for ground-mounted PV.

Are floating solar panels cost effective?

The economic comparison also considers the advantages of the aquatic environment. CAPEX sensitivity analysis shows that most floating solutions are cost effective. 1 to 10 % CAPEX reduction allows tracked floating to be competitive with ground PV. Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) modules are installed on water surface to reduce land use.

Is floating solar a good idea?

Despite its potential, floating solar represents less than 0.5 percent of total solar photovoltaic installations globally. Its benefits must be balanced against an increase of 20–25 percent in system costs, mainly driven by floating structures, anchoring and mooring systems, and, to a lesser extent, development costs.

Are floating solar panels the cheapest form of solar generation?

However, in future, in some locations and depending on the specifics of projects, such as design complexity and floating structure, the LCOE of floating PV instal- lations could reduce to below that of ground-mounted PV, making them the cheapest form of solar generation.

Are floating PV projects more expensive than ground-mounted PV projects?

On a per watt-peak basis, industry experience has shown that floating PV capital expenditure to date tends to remain US$0.10 higher than ground-mounted PV projects under similar conditions. Improved economies of scale and competition between vendors will begin to
