Floating Photovoltaic
1. Development stage of floating photovoltaic
- Slow growth period:
From 2007 to 2013, the cumulative installed capacity was 4.8MW
- Development acceleration period:
From 2014 to 2016, the cumulative installed capacity is nearly 100 MW
- Leap-forward development period:
From 2017 to 2018, the annual installed capacity will be thousands of MW
- Rapid development period:
From 2019 to 2024, the cumulative installed capacity demand is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 22%
2. Major markets for floating photovoltaics:
- China:
68% of the world's cumulative installed capacity
- Japan:
Accounting for 18% of the world's cumulative installed capacity
- South Korea:
Accounting for 6% of the world's cumulative installed capacity
- China:
3% of global cumulative installed capacity
3. Changes in construction costs:
- 2014-2018:
USD 0.92-3.12/Wp
4. Commercial advantages of floating photovoltaics:
- Does not occupy agricultural land
- Underwater farming can increase income
5. Water photovoltaic construction methods:
- Pile foundation fixed type:
it can only be installed within 5 meters of water depth, there is no geological house sea, and the area where the water level changes little
- Floating type:
suitable for COSCO sea waters where the water depth is greater than 5 meters and there is no typhoon
