The Inaugural International Floating Solar Symposium - IFSS 2017, 24-26 October 2017, Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre, Singapore
Conference, and SERIS (Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore) Workshops, lab tour and visit to the world’s largest Floating PV testbed
BUILDING THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY
Floating Solar is taking the solar industry by storm! Globally, it unlocks 400,000 km2 of installation space on freshwater reservoirs alone, and hereby a new TW-scale opportunity for photovoltaics. It addresses the water-energy nexus through evaporation reduction and opens paths to ultra-low balance of system (BOS) costs.
The fascination with scalability and market potential is palpable: New form factors are being discussed, and field tested and the young industry is charting its way through the options for electrical architectures and unfamiliar environmental considerations.
This makes it the right time to bring industry players, innovators, developers and other stakeholders together for the first time: As an international 3-day event, IFSS will facilitate exchange of information about the latest Floating Solar technologies, deployment strategies, hybrid operation of hydropower with PV and bankability perspectives.
It is our great pleasure to invite you to the inaugural "International Floating Solar Symposium", IFSS, under the motto: Building the Global Community.
