“India has great potential for floating PV installations, combined with ambitious expansion targets for renewable energy,” says Dr. Karolina Baltins, group leader for PV power plants at Fraunhofer ISE. “Similar to Europe, there are unclear permitting processes, public skepticism and unresolved research questions regarding plant economics, long-term system reliability and environmental impacts.

The MoU followed a joint Early Career Research Fellowship for the two scientists, Alexander Graef and Dr. Manish Kumar, under the auspices of the Indo-German Science and Technology Center (IGSTC). In 2025, Manish Kumar spent several weeks visiting research institutions in Germany, and in the spring of 2026, Alexander Graef spent five weeks conducting research at Indian organizations, particularly HPU.
