Abstrakt: Electricity generation is said to be a significant contributor to climate change. Now as the power demand is increasing daily, certain green innovations and technologies are emerging to cater to the energy demand. One such technology is Floating Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems which helps to overcome conventional ground mounted solar systems. The purpose of the paper is to compare the Floating PV systems and ground mounted PV systems in terms of efficiency and energy projections. A secondary research was undertaken through global research databases such as Scopus and Web of Science to study the current body of literature. This literature review encompassed recent global cases, industry-related reports and policies/frameworks to analyze electricity generation, system efficiency and suggestions from secondary research on improving the prospects of Floating PV systems. The key finding emerging from the review was that Floating PV systems can resolve issues related to land availability and lower environmental impact. Based on the review it was also inferred that there is huge market potential which is untapped in comparison with ground-mounted PV. The study on Floating PV provides crucial insights for stakeholders, influencing decision-making, strategy development, shaping the future of renewable energy adoption and sustainable development.
