Floating photovoltaic (FPV) technology offers a promising solution to land scarcity, enhancing energy security while supporting global decarbonization efforts. This study focuses on the technical feasibility and performance optimization of a 2 MW FPV system deployed at a reservoir. Through PVsyst simulations, three critical parameters-tilt angle, array pitch, and module power rating-were systematically analyzed to optimize system performance. The results demonstrate that a tilt angle of 30 degrees and a 5-m array pitch maximize solar irradiance capture while minimizing shading and incidence angle modifier (IAM) losses. The study also compared different module power ratings, revealing that high-power bifacial modules significantly outperform lower-power options in terms of energy yield. The optimized system configuration, taking into account real site constraints, achieved an estimated annual energy generation of 1886 MWh with a performance ratio (PR) of 89.2%. These findings confirm the technical viability of FPV systems for reservoir applications and provide valuable insights for scaling up FPV deployment in similar geographic and climatic conditions, contributing to the broader adoption of renewable energy solutions.
