Floating Solar: Clean Energy Without Using Land
As demand for renewable energy grows and land based solar becomes more complex, floating solar is emerging as an innovative solution — and one we’re excited to see gaining momentum.
By installing solar panels on reservoirs, lakes, and other bodies of water, floating PV systems:
Maximise otherwise unused space
Reduce water evaporation (great for agriculture & utilities)
Improve solar panel efficiency thanks to natural cooling
Help control algae growth and protect water quality
Offer scalable, low-impact clean energy
Reduce erosion on clay lined reservoir
At East Green Energy, we’re always exploring new technologies that help our clients cut carbon without compromising land use. Floating solar has huge potential in the UK, particularly for farms, councils, and utility operators with available water space.
