The role of Floating Solar in achieving Africa's energy targets as an alternative to dams
Madrid, Spain (SPX) Apr 22, 2024
Researchers from Politecnico di Milano have identified floating solar photovoltaics (FPV) as a viable alternative to traditional hydropower in meeting Africa's energy goals, according to a new study published in Nature Energy. The study shows that FPV installed at existing major reservoirs could generate 20-100% of the electricity projected from planned hydropower dams across Africa. The r
