Since the outbreak of Covid-19, global installation data show that solar power has much more than traditional energy. As the "Third Pillar", solar power stations are deployed on the ground and rooftop, and floating solar power has been widely arising in more than 60 countries. The project scale and capacity are constantly reaching new high levels. According to Solar Plaza, a European specialist, the top 20 floating solar power plants under construction in 2021 will reach 1.2GW, most of which are in Asia.



According to the Solar Energy Institute of Singapore 2020 Market Report, as of September 2020, the cumulative capacity of floating solar energy projects around the world has reached 2.087GW (DC). Floating solar energy (FPV) presents a huge opportunity for many countries with limited land but abundant water resources. Countries such as Singapore, South Korea, India, Japan, the Netherlands and Greece have been very active FPV markets in recent years. Several projects using floating solar energy for desalination and hydrogen production are also emerging in the Middle East. IHS Markit predicts that Asia will account for 59% of the nearly 1.5GW of new floating-power plants installed globally in 2021.

 
According to statistics from Solar Plaza, in 2021, the total capacity of the top 20 floating power stations under construction in the world reached 1.2GW, including 16 in Asia with a capacity of 1.1GW, and the other four in Europe with a total capacity of 0.106GW. The largest solar floating power plant under construction is in India, with a capacity of up to 300MW. The Netherlands is the best performer in the European market, with France and Greece catching up with it.

With the increasing market, Xiamen Bosch New Energy Co.,Ltd will try our best to meet the delivery time of clients. At the same time, welcome more and more renewable energy partners from all over the world to cooperate with us for floating solar power projects.
