New Jersey's Canoe Brook Water Treatment plant has installed the largest floating solar array in North America to meet its substantial energy needs. ...

Despite its potential, it only makes up a small fraction of global solar installations.

We’ll outline six of these – and cover why they represent such marked innovations.

The project has the size of 45 football fields, and a capacity of 60 megawatt-peak (MWp)

There could also be detrimental ecosystem impacts of deploying floating solar arrays.

This hybrid system could produce as much as 7.6 terawatts of potential power a year from the solar PV systems alone.
