Floating Solar Panel Market to hit 2.5 GW by 2024: Global Market Insights Inc. The global Floating Solar Panels Market share report provides numbers for applications and regional segments of the industry covering historical as well as forecast data for decision makers. Strict government measures for reducing carbon emissions along with promotion of renewable energy use is expected to push floating solar panel market size over the coming years. In addition to this, technological breakthroughs along with low solar component costs will further boost the industry trends significantly. Low land availability for PV systems installations is anticipated to further stimulate the industry outlook over the coming timeframe. In this regards, the countries are focusing on maximum utilization of the waterbodies to address the rising energy needs. For instance, Singapore is collaborating actively with private firms to effectively utilize its waterbodies for development of new floating solar panel products, addressing the requirement of over 6 million population base. The country had launched the world’s largest floating solar PV cell test-bed on October 25th, 2016.
Stationary and Tracking are the major floating solar panel products. Stationary floating solar panels accounted for 90% of the overall floating solar panel market share in 2015, and is expected to witness lucrative gains over the coming years. The growth can be attributed to the high popularity of these products across emerging economies, owing to its cost-effectiveness. Tracking floating solar panel industry revenue is expected to hit USD 250 million by 2024, primarily driven by its durability and proficiency. Below are the geographical trends influencing global floating solar panel market over 2016-2024: •
