The sekdoorn floating photovoltaic installation in the netherlands. This represents a cost effective strategy for allocating new pv plants without occupying natural lands protecting dams from insulation and increasing hydropower generation by reducing evaporation losses. Recently hydro and solar plants have started to merge into photovoltaic hydropower hybrid plants where floating solar panels are installed on the water surface of hydropower reservoirs and or on the dam surface. Floating pv systems have increased generating efficiency due to the natural cooling effect of the water below the solar cells.

Solar energy costs less than conventional electricity. The first 20 plants of a few dozen of kwp have been built between 2008 and 2014 as reported in the mirarco paper that analyzed the birth of this technology.
