Although floating pv has been around in Japan and Korea for 10 years already, it has just started to gather attention in Europe within the last 2 years. So high time to dive into the technical advantages of Floating PV, the market potential and the challenges that come with it. To tackle the topic from all sides and to give a indepth engineering as well as an economic insights, we have two guests today. We’ll start with Minne de Jong, a researcher and project manager at Techno Research Institute of the Netherlands, followed by some economical and development insights by Toni Weigl, Project Manager Large Scale PV and Product Manager Floating PV at BayWa r.e.
