在土地有限的地区发展大规模地面光伏发电极为困难，特别是在一些每平方公里居住人口超过1 100人的国家。考虑到土地用于粮食生产，住房和工业化的优先事项，浮动太阳能光伏（FSPV）系统，涉及将光伏电池安装在水体表面的浮动设备上，可以为可再生能源发电和保护稀缺土地提供实用的解决方案。虽然一些研究强调FSPV的潜在好处，没有全面的技术经济和环境研究的公开文献中报道的情况下，一个国家的土地几乎不可能利用光伏发电。因此，本文的重点是一个技术经济和环境研究的50兆瓦FSPV发电厂的沼泽地区在一个人口极其稠密的国家使用PVsyst模拟工具。研究结果表明，50兆瓦FSPV电厂的平准化能源成本（LCOE）为0.051美元/千瓦时，与案例研究国家的化石燃料电厂的0.087美元/千瓦时相比，这一成本要低得多。此外，拟议的FSPV提供减少CO2，水蒸发和沼泽地生物多样性保护。
The development of large-scale, ground-mounted photovoltaic power generation in areas with limited land is extremely difficult, especially in some countries where more than 1,100 people reside per square kilometre. Considering land's utilisation for food production, housing, and industrialisation a priority, floating solar photovoltaic (FSPV) systems, which involve mounting PV cells on a floating device on the surface of a water body, can provide a practical solution for both renewable power generation and the conservation of scarce land. Although some studies emphasise the potential benefits of FSPV, no comprehensive techno-economic and environmental study is reported in the open literature in the context of a country where landmass is nearly impossible to utilise for photovoltaic power generation. Hence, the article focuses on a techno-economic and environmental study of a 50 MW FSPV power plant for a marsh area in an extremely densely populated country using PVsyst simulation tools. The findings of the study show the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the 50 MW FSPV plant is US$ 0.051/kWh, which is a decent lower compared to US$ 0.087/kWh for fossil fuel-based power plants in the case study nation. Furthermore, the proposed FSPV offers reductions in CO2, water evaporation, and biodiversity conservation in marshlands.
