Potential Assessment of Floating Solar PV (FSPV) in India

21 Feb 2020 Report : Potential Assessment of Floating Solar PV (FSPV) in India https://lnkd.in/fbKWvgF ---------------------------- Highlights : > The report has found that India's reservoirs have 18,000 sq km of area that have the potential to generate 280 GW of electricity through floating solar photovoltaic (PV) plants --------------------------------- I don't know enough about FSPV - and its problems associated with evacuation of generated power, but consider this : [ https://lnkd.in/fFFJgtR ] One hour of Sunshine falling on India's land area of 3,000,000 square kilometers , can generate enough electricity to power our nation for ONE year ! Now , most of India gets 6 hours of Sunshine daily for some 300 days in a year ! So , as a nation , we get 1800 hours of Sunshine , every year If we were to cover our entire land area ( of 3,000,000 sq km ) with Solar Panels , we could get enough electricity in one year ( ie: in 1800 hours ) , which will meet our power needs for 1800 YEARS ! ( about 5000 trillion Kwh ! )
