Thanks to the proximity of water, a cooling effect can be expected which improves energy production. Indeed, studies have been conducted by research institutes with results that confirm this positive effect. For example, the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) has observed a 3.2° to 14.5°C (37,8° to 58,1°F) lower temperature of the photovoltaic panels on floating photovoltaic installations compared to rooftop systems in Singapore, with an increase in yield of 5 to 10% (Discover the study).
