The excessive amount of use of fossil fuels to produce electricity has been continuously resulting in the depletionof the conventional resources. Solar Energy, the most abundant renewable energy resource is the most preferablealternative for the production of electricity. Solar power plant needs some amount of land to be set up on depending uponits capacity. Cost of the land plays an important part in setting up a solar power plant. Due to unavailability of properland, the cost of land goes high. Due to this, we propose to set up a solar power plant that floats on water bodies. Thiswould have its own advantages such as, it would prevent the water from evaporating, prevent the growth of algae, andmajorly, the cooling provided by water would help in boosting the efficiency of the solar plant. The output of the plant canbe used to power nearby irrigation systems, street lights, etc. This paper deals with the design of floating structure.
