“…It was observed that the most suitable locations were the Indonesian archipelago and the Gulf of Guinea locations (30.000 km 2 ), which can produce approximately one million terawatt hours of energy per year. This highlights the potential of offshore FPV systems in the global energy transition [28].…”

Photovoltaic (PV) modules have emerged as a promising technology in the realm of sustainable energy solutions, specifically in the harnessing of solar energy. Photovoltaic modules, which use solar energy to generate electricity, are often used on terrestrial platforms. In recent years, there has been an increasing inclination towards the installation of photovoltaic (PV) modules over water surfaces, including lakes, reservoirs, and even oceans. The novel methodology introduces distinct benefits and complexities, specifically pertaining to the thermal characteristics of the modules. In order to accomplish this objective, a photovoltaic (PV) module system with a capacity of 1 MW was developed as a scenario in the PVsyst Program. The scenario simulation was conducted on the Mamasın Dam, situated in the Gökçe village within the Aksaray province. To conduct the efficiency analysis, a comparative evaluation was conducted between bifacial and monofacial modules, which were installed from above the water at 1 m. The comparison was made considering two different types of modules. Additionally, the albedo effect, water saving amount, and CO2 emissions of the system were also investigated. Albedo measurements were made in summer when the PV power plant will operate most efficiently. As a result of the simulations, it was found that bifacial modules produce 12.4% more energy annually than monofacial modules due to the albedo effect. It is estimated that PV power plant installation will save 19,562.695 and 17,253.475 tons of CO2 emissions in bifacial and monofacial systems, respectively.

“…Technical data for the analysis was gathered through the measurement of energy yield from the Floating Solar PV system. To validate and enhance the findings, this measured data was compared with simulation results obtained from the Global Solar Atlas, utilizing an online simulation platform [6], [7]. The comparison between actual performance and simulated outcomes offers valuable insights into the accuracy and reliability of the Floating Solar PV system in the specific environmental conditions of Muara Nusa Dua reservoir.…”

To achieve renewable energy mix target and support the Indonesian Government’s policy on the use of solar power, PT. PLN Indonesia Power Bali has installed Floating Solar Photovoltaic (PV) above the surface of the Muara Nusa Dua reservoir. The 100 kWp Floating Solar PV was showcased at the G20 meeting held in Bali. In this study, a techno-economic analysis was carried out for the 100 kWp Floating Solar PV. The data collected was the real time data from the production of the 100 kWp Floating Solar PV and the costs incurred for the investment. The results of this study showed an average energy yield of 145.93 MWh with expected revenue of Rp 236,406,729.60 annually. Furthermore, the NPV and IRR were calculated and the resulted values were Rp 2,810,168,240.00 and 5.73 %, respectively with payback period approximately of 13 years. This showed that the 100 kWp Floating Solar PV is feasible investment to increase renewable energy mix in Bali – Indonesia.

“…space sharing means the rational use of space resources to improve the power generation per unit of marine area (Golroodbari et al, 2021). The integration of offshore floating PV plants and offshore wind plants is ideal (Silalahi and Blakers, 2023). The natural complementarity of them from summertime to wintertime is conducive to the relative stability of the current output.…”

The development of solar energy is one of the most effective means to deal with the environmental and energy crisis. The floating photovoltaic (PV) system is an attractive type because of its multiple advantages and has been well developed based on fresh water areas on land. This paper focuses on the expansion of this sector towards the ocean, offshore floating PV plants, which is the new growth point with huge potential for the future PV sector. For this new field, the technology readiness level is really low and research to understand the interaction between offshore floating PV plants and marine environment are proceeding. In this paper, we aim to discuss the technological feasibility of offshore floating PV plants as well as analyze potential impacts on the marine environment during the life cycle of PV from manufacturing until disposal.
