Facts & Figures

Floating solar or floating photovoltaics (FPV) has been lately considered as the third pillar of the solar photovoltaic industry, after ground-mounted and rooftop applications.

The floating solar market can be segmented into different project categories, depending upon the water body application and site conditions, which might require different designs and specifications.

Floating 1.0
Static freshwater bodies – no wave

Floating 2.0
Large freshwater bodies with inflow (e.g. hydropower dams) – small to medium wave

Floating 3.0
Near-shore seawater (harbours, estuaries, ports, coastline) – medium wave

Floating 4.0
Offshore seawater – high wave

 About IFS2

 Our Mission

 

The International Floating Solar Society (IFS2) is a global web community, which shall serve as a platform to gather and exchange latest knowledge and experiences on floating solar, including reports, statistics and related events across the world.

Our mission is to promote the exchange of best practices and knowledge about floating solar. The aim is to facilitate the centralisation of data and information into one single platform to fast-track the adoption of qualitative and sustainable floating solar projects across climates and regions. 

As Secretariat, the Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore (SEAS) is responsible for the general management of IFS2 and supporting the needs of the Organisation and Committee Members.
