Ecuador could host floating PV facilities at 11 hydropower plants

An international team has researched the potential to deploy floating photovoltaics at hydroelectric stations in Ecuador, finding 11 out of 70 sites that could host at least 15 MW up to 200 MW. An international team led by researchers from the Australian environmental and energy-focused unit of RINA Consulting, part of Italy-based RINA, has examined the potential to deploy floating photovoltaics (FPVs) at hydropower plants (HPPs) in Ecuador and has found that, out of 70 HPPs, 11 have the potential to co-locate FPV systems greater than 15 MW. "To date, no study has fully assessed the HPP-FPV colocation ...
