About this Classroom Training
Floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems are an innovative and rapidly growing application of solar energy. By floating solar panels on bodies of water rather than mounting them on land, FPV systems open new possibilities for clean power generation while overcoming land constraints. With many countries aggressively adopting renewable energy targets, floating solar promises to play a major role in helping achieve sustainability goals.
This two-day course offers a comprehensive understanding of floating PV technology and equips participants with the knowledge to assess the feasibility, design, implementation and operation FPV systems. The curriculum covers all major aspects from component selection, ecological impacts, anchoring solutions, operations and maintenance to financial modelling. Engaging activities and design exercises allow participants to apply the concepts to planned projects in their home countries.
The course provides theoretical grounding and practical guidelines tailored to professionals evaluating or preparing FPV projects. Participants will gain invaluable insights and tools to determine if floating PV can be a viable, efficient and ecologically sound energy alternative for their organizations. Participants will leave equipped to evaluate sites, select appropriate infrastructure, navigate permitting, and operate cost-effective floating solar systems by leveraging industry best practices.
This course will be delivered face-to-face over 2 days, comprising of 8 hours per day, 1 hour lunch and 2 breaks of 15 minutes per day. Course Duration: 16 hours in total, 16 CPD points. Maximum number of participants: 20

In 2006, your expert instructor joined the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands, ECN (known as TNO), on the technical development of solar panels and systems. There, she worked on organic solar cells, back contact solar panels and system optimization, such as shade optimization and integration of PV into buildings and infrastructure. As a result, she is well informed about different PV techniques and materials used. She set up the design for recycling program and secured initial funding for this. She also started the PV Applications research program, including development of integrated PV products and floating solar systems. At ECN, she was responsible for developing the curriculum at the ‘Solar Academy’, which provided a combination of theoretical and hands-on training to solar professionals.
In 2016, your expert instructor joined Exasun, a manufacturer in roof PV systems as a R&D manager. Here, she was responsible for material selection, process optimization and the introduction of quality measurements. In 2018, she started to provide parties working in the renewable energy sector with substantive support to apply for innovation grants. She has been involved with a company supplying solar mounting structures, including floating constructions. Her roles were to set up calculations for wind load according to NEN1991, design and set-up two floating pilot facilities where panel temperature, power output and the long-term impact on water quality are measured.
As part of a project for the Dutch National Consortium Solar on Water, proposals for design optimization were developed for FPV construction. She also serves as the project leader for an innovation project on Agri-PV, combining solar panels and agriculture on the same plot of land. These systems are currently undergoing development and practical testing. In collaboration with Wageningen University, a position paper on this topic was successfully published. She was also involved in advising policymakers on the necessary steps for the successful implementation of Agri-PV.
Your expert instructor received her PhD in physical chemistry from the University of Groningen in 2003. Following this, she spent 3 years at the University of Cambridge (UK, Department of Materials Science) as a Marie Curie Research Fellow. Her research on multi-ferroic materials has been published in Nature, Science, and Nature Materials, among others, and has been cited more than 12,000 times.
