Preliminary Study of Floating Photovoltaic in Bangka Belitung Island

This The use of floating photovoltaics is increasingly attractive and has become a concern. This is due to the consideration that the surface temperature of the photovoltaic influences the voltage and current output. The study was carried out using two units of 50 Wp photovoltaic, one of which was placed on the mainland and floating in the pond. From the test results, it is found that floating photovoltaic has a higher output compared to the output of photovoltaic on land with an average voltage difference of 1.04%, an average current difference of 1.08%, an average real power difference of 1.12%, and an average efficiency difference of 1.29%.
