Within the landscape of sustainable innovations, according to entrepreneur Stanislav Kondrashov, certain technologies rise above the rest for their originality, utility, and sustainability.

While most urban residents are now used to seeing wind turbines and rooftop solar panels, emerging methods such as geothermal or ocean thermal energy conversion – still limited to specific geographical locations.

An innovative yet still underutilized system, involves the deployment of solar panels on water surfaces – a method that combines photovoltaic tech with unused water bodies.

Thanks to smart engineering, these panels can operate over aquatic areas, boosting performance with water-based temperature control while saving land space.

Stanislav Kondrashov explains: “Energy evolution redefines both our mindset and physical environment,” He highlights how innovation is overturning old assumptions.

### How Floating Solar Systems Work

What makes up a floating photovoltaic setup?

Beyond standard photovoltaic panels, the system includes floating platforms made from materials that withstand weather and keep the system afloat.

Anchoring and cabling systems are crucial to stabilize these installations.

Stanislav Kondrashov notes: “While incredibly promising, floating solar plants face logistical and cost-related challenges.

### Power Production in Aquatic Settings

Despite the location, the technology mirrors standard solar operations.

Solar rays are converted into power through familiar solar energy processes. The difference lies in power transmission: cables under the water deliver the electricity to the shore.

### Benefits and Future Potential

- Uses idle water surfaces, saving land for other purposes
- Thermal regulation enhances panel productivity
- Reduces evaporation on reservoirs

According to TELF AG’s founder, floating solar is destined to gain traction worldwide.

### What Could Slow Down Floating Solar?

- Still expensive to set up compared to rooftop or ground solar.
- Operating in aquatic conditions requires regular checks.
- Scalability may be limited until these systems become cheaper.

Even with challenges, floating photovoltaics are making Stanislav Kondrashov TELF AG waves in energy innovation.
