Since floating solar power plants are not located on the land or on the roofs, they do not cover potential areas and idle areas are evaluated. It is less affected by dust, one of the biggest performance-reducing issues in the field. It contributes to the reduction of costs as the facility installation costs do not require land arrangement, which takes an important place. In addition, it has an efficiency-enhancing effect due to the cooling effect of water.
The water covered by the panels in the power plants does not heat up, preventing the existing habitat from deteriorating and the formation of algae. Floating solar power plants that can be installed in areas where hydroelectric power plants (HEPP) are located can reduce efficiency losses due to clogging of grids and pipes, as it prevents the formation of algae.
In addition, the panels covering the surface of the water also reduce the evaporation in the basin. This reduces water loss on days when there is an increased need for clean water.
In land type solar power plants, solar panels are mounted with an inclination angle of 20-30 degrees, while this angle is between 5° and 13° in floating solar power plants. This reduces the shading share and enables floating solar power plants to take up less space than field solar power plants.
By using renewable energy sources such as solar power plants, the carbon footprint can be reduced and contribute to minimizing carbon damage in the atmosphere.
