India's first floating solar power station to come up inside Victoria
A prototype of India’s first floating solar power station could soon be coming up in the pond of Victoria Memorial.
If the plan proves to be a success, such floating solar power stations could also be set up in the water reservoirs and dams of hydroelectric power stations thereby increasing their output.
“Developing a floating solar power station would prove to be a revolutionary step as it could solve the perennial problem of land. Such pilot projects are also going on in a few countries such as France and Australia,” said SP Gon Choudhury, an international expert in solar energy and the brain behind this project.
The idea is simple.
A raft like platform fitted with hollow plastic or tin drums would be floating on water.
The power generating equipment such as solar panels would be fitted on this raft so that they can float on water.
It would not only solve the problem of land but would also help conserve water in the water bodies.
The solar panels, which would be floating on water, would cut off the direct sunlight and hence slow down the rate of evaporation.
“Studies have also shown that if the rear surface of solar panels are kept cooler, then their ability to generate power goes up by 16%. As these solar panels would be floating on water, they are expected to stay cool and hence we can generate more power than those set up on land,” Choudhury said.

White House's Solar Panel Installation Has Begun.
A White House official confirmed to the Washington Post on Thursday that installation of solar panels began this week on the First Family’s residence.
The plan to use solar energy was first revealed in October 2010, but was not put into effect until now. During a GreenGov symposium at George Washington University, then-Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the plan to install American-made solar panels in the spring of 2011.
“This project reflects President Obama’s strong commitment to U.S. leadership in solar energy and the jobs it will create here at home,” Chu said at the time. “Deploying solar energy technologies across the country will help America lead the global economy for years to come.”
This is not the first attempt to include solar power in the White House’s energy mix. In 1979, President Jimmy Carter installed panels on the roof, which were taken down by President Ronald Reagan in 1986.
Africa, the Untapped Potential for Clean Energy
Africa has a huge untapped potential for generating clean energy, including enough hydroelectric power from its seven major river systems to serve the entire continent's needs, as well as enormous potential for other energy sources such as solar, wind and geothermal.
Adding the battery back-up power option to existing grid-tied PV/solar systems
Using battery-based off-grid technology, a smarter type of "grid/hybrid" inverter technology is able to use PV, wind, hydro-electric and other renewable DC energy sources to keep the batteries charged and sell the excess to the grid, just like the grid-tied unit using the grid as its battery.
