A before-after-control-impact study conducted on six French lakes for three years has shown that the PV coverage on average reduces the water temperature by 1.2 ° C. The reduction of the water temperature also occurred in areas of the lakes that were not covered with modules. February 7, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from France have conducted an investigation into the impact of floating PV (FPV) stations at water temperature in freshwater ecosystems. They have used a before-after-control impact (BACI) framework to understand those differences. The team has measured six comparable lakes, three of them with FPV and three without, for…
