MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641085932 A) filed by Mlr Institute Of Technology; and Marri Laxman Reddy Institute Of Technology And on July 14, 2026, for Floating Photovoltaic Power Generation System Incorporating Dual-Axis Solar Tracking.
Inventors include Dr. M. Dilip Kumar; Mr. N. Karthik; Mr. P. Jithendar; and Ms. Vididhineni Harshitha.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: A floating solar photovoltaic system integrated with a solar tracking mechanism is disclosed to enhance energy generation efficiency on water bodies. The system comprises a buoyant platform supporting photovoltaic panels and a tracking assembly configured to adjust panel orientation in real time based on solar position. The tracking mechanism includes sensors, a control unit, and an actuation system designed to maintain stability and enable smooth motion under floating conditions. The floating configuration provides passive cooling, improving panel performance, while eliminating the need for land usage. The system further addresses challenges related to structural stability and dynamic movement of tracking-enabled FPV platforms. In certain embodiments, the design minimizes environmental impact on aquatic ecosystems. The disclosed system enables increased solar energy capture compared to fixed FPV systems and offers a scalable and efficient solution for renewable energy generation on water surfaces.
