Abstract— As we know, due to limited fossil fuel resources and rising energy demand, solar energy, which is a free and unlimited source of energy that is also eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable, is becoming widely attractive. But, due to land-use constraints, the cost of land and site preparation, and water evaporation and to take some environmental benefits, floating solar photovoltaic (FPV) systems have become an increasingly viable application of photovoltaic (PV) in Solar Energy field. This research paper reveal the advantages of FPV technology in the areas of energy, food, water and economic, such as enhanced efficiency of the panels, reduced usage of land and improved water quality, which will be the beneficial in the future. These benefits above are supported by practical and theoretical research data. Based on the categorization of benefits according to the practical and theoretical data, we are figuring out in which areas need further research.
