A Grand Rapids suburb could host the first water-based solar farm in Michigan, but it’s not likely to signal a trend.

A small NY city is awaiting the final permit to build a 3.2-MW “floatovoltaic” project, apparently the first in the nation owned and operated by a municipality.

New Jersey’s Board of Public Utilities increased the incentive awarded to an 8.9 MW floating solar project that the agency says is the largest in the nation.

Mike Marsch with BlueWave Solar says that floating solar is necessar to build out renewable energy at the capacity needed.
