Abstract

Photovoltaic power generation technology converts sunlight directly into electricity without any heat engine interference, offering a new solution to address the growing energy crisis and environmental pollution. However, land-based photovoltaic systems face challenges such as limited space availability, intense heating of photovoltaic cells, dust deposition, and shading effects. The focus on solar energy is gradually shifting towards the ocean. Marine photovoltaic systems can effectively overcome the limitations of land-based photovoltaics, avoiding shading, utilizing a broader space, and utilizing seawater as a cooling medium to reduce the temperature of photovoltaic systems. Currently, numerous review articles emphasize marine floating photovoltaics, yet there is a lack of commentary on marine longitudinal space photovoltaic power generation systems. Therefore, this review meticulously introduces the latest research progress in marine photovoltaic systems, encompassing floating photovoltaic systems, fixed pile foundation photovoltaic systems, photovoltaic systems applied to ocean-going vessels, and underwater photovoltaic systems. The spatial division rules of sea level, above sea surface and below sea surface are used to summarize. The work thoroughly analyzes the factors influencing the efficiency and performance of each system. Furthermore, an economic and feasibility evaluation is conducted for each system, providing a robust research foundation for the future development and application of marine photovoltaic technology.
