부유식 태양광발전 시장 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석 및 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Floating Solar PV Market was valued at USD 7.7 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 1.5% to reach USD 8.9 billion by 2034.

The steady growth is attributed to the increasing deployment of solar panels over water bodies such as lakes, reservoirs, and coastal zones where land availability is constrained. Floating solar systems offer the dual benefits of renewable energy production and water conservation by reducing evaporation, especially in hot and arid climates. With rising temperatures and limited freshwater resources in areas like the Middle East and Africa, demand for these installations is increasing. Government-led renewable energy strategies, coupled with ongoing advancements in floating structures, anchoring technologies, and materials such as UV-resistant HDPE, continue to support long-term adoption. The push for integrating floating solar with existing hydropower infrastructure and water treatment facilities is also creating new growth opportunities. In regions with limited land but abundant water bodies, such as Southeast Asia and coastal Europe, floating solar is becoming a viable and scalable solution. Innovations in energy tracking systems and interest in high-efficiency, decentralized applications are further strengthening the market's long-term outlook.

The Systems with a capacity of 5 MW segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2% through 2034, driven by their compatibility with small, distributed installations. These modular solutions are ideal for facilities such as agricultural ponds, reservoirs, and wastewater treatment plants. Countries across Southeast Asia are adopting these systems widely, capitalizing on the availability of inland water bodies to support clean energy transitions.

The tracking technologies segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% through 2034. These systems are designed to optimize solar energy capture by adjusting panel orientation in real time, significantly improving output. Regions such as Portugal and Spain are spearheading tracking deployment as part of broader initiatives to enhance energy yield while preserving land use. With continuous technological upgrades, tracking capabilities are becoming more compatible with floating installations, boosting efficiency in space-constrained and water-abundant regions alike.

United States Floating Solar PV Market generated USD 16 million in 2024. States such as California and New Jersey are encouraging floating solar adoption through policy incentives and integration into statewide sustainability programs. Companies like Sungrow are designing solar modules tailored to North American weather conditions, including performance adjustments for snow-prone areas.
