Guidelines for Floating Solar PV in India

Floating Solar Photovoltaic (FPV) systems use water bodies to generate solar power, helping overcome land limitations in renewable energy expansion. In India, FPV holds great potential but faces challenges such as technical complexity, environmental concerns, and the lack of clear policies. These Guidelines address these issues by providing a structured framework for developers, policymakers, and investors. Based on research and stakeholder consultations, the guidelines cover technical, regulatory, and financial aspects to support safe, efficient, and scalable FPV deployment across the country.
