Floating solar panels and photovoltaics

Floating solar or floating photovoltaics (FPV), sometimes called floatovoltaics, are mounted on a structure that floats. The structures that hold the solar panels usually consist of plastic buoys and cables. They are then placed on a body of water. Typically, these bodies of water are reservoirs, quarry lakes, irrigation canals or remediation and tailing ponds.
