Özet

This paper reviews the conceptual design of support structures for floating solar power plants. The advantages of floating photovoltaic (PV) power plants are discussed, including the cooling effect of water and limited evaporation. The paper evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of existing designs, including flexible and rigid types, and highlights areas that require further improvement. The challenges of structural integrity and redundancy are also addressed.
