A prerequisite for the development and construction of today's photovoltaic plants is to operate them efficiently - economically and without downtime. Yet, as the number of utility scales plants increases the available space is decreasing. This means that new installation areas for solar systems need to be found. One possibility for this are floating solar systems. These new applications present a whole new set of challenges to operators and manufacturers, such as high humidity conditions, corrosive environments and direct irradiance.
