A floating solar farm off Taiwan's coast produces 12 percent more electricity and 11 percent net profit compared to a nearby land-based solar installation, according to a new study. The improved performance stems from cooler temperatures and stronger winds over water, though offshore systems face higher installation and maintenance costs due to salt, humidity, and wave exposure.
