A MESSAGE FROM
THE PROJECT MANAGER

“The first global conference dedicated to floating

solar set sail in Amsterdam, bringing together 330
320+
Attendees
participants from more than 30 different countries.”

Over the last four years, the deployment of floating solar has Dutch
grown more than a hundredfold, surpassing the milestone 40%
threshold of 1 GW in September 2018. Although the vast majority
of deployments are currently located in Asia, the technology
is starting to make waves in Europe as well with various multi-
megawatt projects in the pipeline.

The promising opportunities of large-scale floating solar

development, hydro-hybrids, and even near-shore applications,
combined with a variety of challenges and pending questions on International
bankability, standardization, environmental impact, and soiling 60%
solutions formed a perfect storm of interest in the very first
global Floating Solar Conference.

For many, this conference was the very beginning of their floating
solar voyage, while for others it was an excellent opportunity to
meet new partners, expand their businesses and build on their
existing knowledge. For all, this was an experience laden with

26
excitement and inspiration of being at the cusp of a rising wave
and unprecedented growth. That’s why we are thrilled to come
back in 2020 even stronger, to collaboratively steer the floating
solar scene towards becoming the third pillar of the industry.
