The business has bagged orders to set up two floating solar plants in India.
Floating solar projects involve mounting solar modules on structures that float in a water body, typically areservoir/lake/abandoned quarry.
Compared to ground-mounted solar plants, floating solar plants do not require land acquisition and typically involve less civil work.
There are other site-specific merits too, besides reduction of water evaporation.
