Additionally, Inventergy said the innovation enables installation of panels in locations where it would be impossible or costs would be prohibitive without it.Floating solar plants are some of the most complex solar installations, yet they could be the only viable option in some regions. In floating solar plants, solar panels are installed at sea or in internal water bodies. Where solar farms would cover an expansive real estate, floating solar plants are preferable to free land for other uses or reduce land cost.The rising demand for renewable energy and the need to use land prudently is fueling the adoption of floating solar plants, especially in countries that don’t have much land for traditional solar farms.Inventergy didn’t reveal whether the innovation it was acquiring could be used in floating solar plants installations. But its description of the innovation suggests that it could fit the bill in complex installations such as floating solar plants.As such, Inventergy could capitalize on floating solar plants market, where revenue opportunity is appealing going by market projections.
