The Dutch research institute TNO conducted a life cycle analysis on floating PV systems for the IEA's PVPS. Floating systems have a slightly larger carbon footprint compared to land-based systems. They use water instead of land and have synergies with hydroelectric power plants, with lower CO2 emissions. Recycling materials and using low-emission sources can further reduce the carbon footprint. Research suggests floating PV systems are a good complement to ground-mounted systems. Further investigation is recommended on the environmental impact, particularly on aquatic ecosystems.
