Floating solar has always been a subject of curiosity and also a source of hope for countries and islands with limited land. This technology is evolving fast and research is being done to assess its potential in Africa. Finding an ideal location for water to meet the sun and create a strong source of energy without affecting the space are the promises of floating solar among others: higher energy yield, reduction of the evaporation of the water plant and improvement of water quality.

Floating solar photovoltaic technologies are opening new opportunities for scaling up solar generation capacity in Africa.
