APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING ELECTRICITY USING PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS

摘要

An apparatus (1) for generating electricity using photovoltaic panels (2) comprises a panel (2) mounting structure (4) adapted to position the panels in a body of water in such a way that the top faces (3) of the panels (2) designed to receive the solar radiation are operatively covered by a layer of water of predetermined depth. A method for generating electricity using photovoltaic panels (2) comprises preparing a panel (2) mounting structure (4) and positioning the structure (4) in a body of water in such a way that the top faces (3) of the panels (2) designed to receive the solar radiation are operatively covered by a layer of water of predetermined thickness.
