Researchers in Brazil have installed a vertical thermistorical chain with six temperature loggers under a floating PV factory and on a nearby reference. The system also registered solved oxygen and photosynthetically active radiation to assess the environmental effects. June 13, 2025 Lior Kahana Research led by scientists from the Brazilian Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) carried out a field rating of temperature variations, dissolved oxygen (DO) and photosynthetically active radiation (par) in a floating PV system. They used a vertical thermist scenery of six temperature loggers that were installed under the floating solar installation. “Our study is the first to…
