Abstract: The limited fossil fuel resources and increased demand for energy make solar energy the major area of concentration, as this is free and unlimited source of energy, also environment-friendly and sustainable to the environment. But while executing the projects, problems face the government and the partners in the execution of the plan, such as land availability, land development and acquisition, substation capacity, and evacuation, also timely clearances for the execution of the plan on land, which are the major problems in completing the project. Most of the locations identified by the government, considering the solar radiation data in the country, are hot And dry places. Even though the radiation is high at these places, the energy yield is low at these places due to the heating effect of the solar panel and the high temperature of the surface of the solar cells. In order to avoid all these issues, an innovative idea has come in front to install the solar power plant on water, i.e., on the top of canals, water bodies, lakes, dam backwaters, and reservoirs, which are under the government.
