For decades, farmers have been experts at harnessing and utilizing solar energy. Almost every form of agriculture makes use of the sun, efficiently converting the energy to forms of energy we require for survival. Rising electricity costs have added to the escalating overheads affecting UK farmers and the profitability of their businesses in recent years. It should come as no surprise, then, that farmers and landowners in the United Kingdom are beginning to recognize the potential of using unused solar panel roof space for farm buildings or parcels of relatively unproductive land. These are ideal for solar PV installations that allow you to generate your electricity, reduce fuel costs, and potentially generate an additional income stream to support your business. Many solar farmers are already reaping financial benefits from this technology.

Solar Mounting Systems (Photovoltaic mounting systems) (also known as solar module racking are used to fix solar panels on surfaces like roofs, building facades, or the ground. According to Wikipedia, These solar mounting systems wholly enable the installation of solar panels on roofs or as part of the design of the building.

A floating solar mounting system is one of the best solar mount systems used for powering large projects like towns. They consist of solar panels attached to a floating surface and placed on waterbodies. The water bodies need to be calm to stabilize the panels such as basins, lakes as well as man-made waterbodies like reservoirs. A floating mount system is more convenient than other mounting systems because it does not take up any space on land.

There are three common ways of installing solar panels namely solar roof mounting system, solar ground mounting system and floating solar mounting system. These are all good methods of mounting solar panels but mostly depending on the user’s preference in terms of several factors like space, cost, size and so on.

Floating solar mounting system, or floating photovoltaic (FPV), is a solar array that floats on the surface of a water body. They are installed in calm waterbodies such as lakes or basins because oceans and rivers have rough waves that could throw off the panels. In order to fix the panels on the surface of the water they require the use of a floatable structure to avoid sinking. Floating solar arrays can also be planted on reservoirs and other man-made waterbodies.
