Lithuania tests floating solar panels | Interreg Europe

Lithuanian power firm “Ignitis Gamyba” aims to install floating solar panels on a lake at a Kruonis pumped-storage hydroelectric plant as part of a small but booming global market for “floatovoltaics”. It will be the first project of its kind in the Baltic region.
