Floating solar

Floating solar panels have the potential to give a huge boost to Türkiye's installed electricity capacity, according to a top official from the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry.

Turkish authorities are planning to install solar panels on lakes and dams to prevent evaporation as some of the major lakes in Anatolia are under the threat of drought due to reduced precipitation levels resulting from global warming.

Chinese power company Sungrow Power Supply put into operation on the territory of Huainan, in the eastern province of Anhui, the world's largest floating solar power plant. This was announced by China Daily newspaper, quoted by TASS.
