Water Conservation Potential of Self-Funded Foam-Based Flexible Surface-Mounted Floatovoltaics

A potential solution to the coupled water–energy–food challenges in land use is the concept of floating photovoltaics or floatovoltaics (FPV). In this study, a new approach to FPV is investigated using a flexible crystalline silicon-based photovoltaic (PV) module backed with foam, which is less expe...
