Nowadays, climate change and «green» policies implemented all around the globe, constitute Renewable Energy Sources a necessary tool to tackle environmental crisis and diminish carbon dioxide emissions. One of the most prominent & rapidly expanding RES industries are Solar Photovoltaic Panels, or abbreviated PV, where an enormous effort is conducted to improve the efficiency of the current PV systems, while diminishing their overall cost. The well-established, Land-Based PV topologies however, occur considerable drawbacks regarding efficiency, maintenance and energy capacity, from low kWp installations, to MWp installations where the problems become more complicated and costly. In this study, the upcoming installation alternatives of Floating Photovoltaics at Fluid and Marine environments (Inshore FPV & Offshore FPV) are discussed regarding their basic electromechanical properties, their advantages & disadvantages compared with LBPV installations, and their performance differences via MATLAB simulation models, while using solar, climate and equipment data from PVGIS, PVSyst & Sandia PV_LIB toolbox library. Finally, simulation results are analyzed and discussed, with significant conclusions on the efficiency, viability and cost-effectiveness on the current & future global & Greek RES Market.
