India can accommodate 280GW of floating solar power

     A study by the Sustainable Development Think Tank Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) calculated that India's reservoirs have 18,000 square kilometers and can accommodate 280 million kilowatts solar system price india of floating solar power.

    The report calculates floating solar potential based on 30% of the surface area of large and medium-sized reservoirs nationwide. According to Root, the biggest potential lies in Maharashtra, where 57891MW of electricity can be generated from floating solar power, with a generating range of more than 3173 square kilometers.

    Dr. Ashvini Kumar, senior director of renewable energy technologies at TERI, said: "Preliminary data analysis shows that with a certain water coverage area, it can accommodate a huge potential of 280 gigawatts. State and Madhya Pradesh are the three states with the greatest potential for installing floating solar photovoltaic power. "

    It is understood that Maharashtra has an installed capacity of 58 million kilowatts and is the place with the greatest potential for generating electricity through floating photovoltaics.
