## Resource

Floating solar is no longer a futuristic idea, it is already reshaping the renewable energy landscape. In this episode, Angie and Ángela break down everything you need to know about floating PV. From how the technology works and why bifacial modules matter, to the real benefits like higher energy yields, reduced water evaporation, and seamless integration with hydropower. They explore the challenges and deep dive into global markets, massive projects already operating, and the huge untapped potential sitting on reservoirs around the world. If you are curious about how solar can grow without using land, why floating PV is gaining momentum globally, and what the next decade could look like, this episode is for you.
