According to relevant reports in the United States, Brazil's hydropower station generates 12 gigawatts annually, which is seriously insufficient in production capacity. As the summer comes in the southern hemisphere Brazil, some cooling systems like air conditioners need more power station to solve the problem of electricity shortage. Fortunately, large-scale floating photovoltaic project has become an ideal solution to make up for this deficiency of its high capacity coefficient, load correlation and high potential output during the peak season of power demand.
 
Floating solar power plants have many advantages. One is to make full use of useless water and land. Water naturally cools the system and ambient temperature, which improves power generation, limits long-term thermal damage and prolongs the life of solar panels.

Second, it also avoids occupying space in densely populated areas, which is beneficial to urban planning and is particularly important for Brazil with a population of 210 million. At present, the total installed capacity of hydropower in Brazil is 109.1 GW, but the Brazilian government aims to reach 114.4 GW by 2023. However, the country's extensive hydropower infrastructure has shown a rather fragile state.

Deploying floating photovoltaic systems on these dams can bring double advantages. First of all, because there is no need to add substations or transmission lines, the construction of photovoltaic projects can be cheaper. Secondly, floating photovoltaic power generation gives opportunity to hydropower plant operators to dispatch these power generation projects as a form of energy storage, thus compensating for the variable output of solar photovoltaic power generation.
