Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) systems, a relatively new technology compared to land based P V. F PV systems are
increasingly contributing to global decarbonization and clean energy efforts. As s olar energy adoption expands,
maintenance and operation of F PV system becomes crucial for l arge scale applications. This necessitates a
deeper understanding of failure mechanisms , particularly those related to humidity [ to inform design and
manufacturing processes , as FPV systems have additional components like floating modules, support stru ctures,
pontoon, underwater cable , compared to their land based PV . However, the limited number of organizations
with operational experience in F PV has resulted in a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding potential
failures and effective solutions.
This paper aims to share insights on potential failures in floating PV systems and discuss the solution for prevent ing to address them.
