Floating PV Systems: Fundamentals and Recent Advances for All Types of Floating PV Systems provides the reader with a solid grounding in floating photovoltaics, offering all essential knowledge in one place.
The book addresses the key aspects of floating PV in turn, with chapters focusing on system design and structure, performance, modelling and simulations, reliability and monitoring systems, economic analysis, and environmental impact. Throughout the book, there is a focus on the challenges and opportunities in floating PV systems, and all types of FPV systems are considered, with analysis of differences and similarities between onshore and offshore technologies.
This is a valuable introductory text for all those with an interest in photovoltaics and solar energy, and specifically floating technology, including advanced students, researchers, scientists, lecturers, engineers, and policy makers.

About the author
Dr. Sara Golroodbari is a Postdoctoral Researcher based at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands. A solar specialist with an electrical engineering background, she has been working on floating PV systems, conducting her research during her Ph.D. on offshore floating PV in the North Sea, and working on system design, modelling and simulation of floating PV systems and comparison of these systems with land based PV systems. Dr. Golroodbari has experience in collaborating with industrial parties for offshore PV monitoring system design and also designed a smart PV module to mitigate partial shading conditions with a fast response. She was the science communication manager of Cost Action Pearl PV from 2020 until the action finished in 2022. She was also the "Grand Cru Award? winner for the best Dutch presentation in the field of Solar Energy in 2019.
