<p>Hi Corey,</p>
<p>Yep I have seen them up in Napa on a small lake. It seems very risky in the Caribbean. The only thing I want on a roof is gutters for rainwater. You can tell I am biased. Maybe someone else has better info.</p>

<div>Hi Dave,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I was actually referring to a growing trend in the PV industry (particularly in Asia) to attach PV arrays - and also inverters in some cases - to floating pontoons and then install them on bodies of water. The systems are often referred to as floating PV (FPV) or "floatovoltaics". Here's an NREL link which provides further information about the concept: <a href="https://www.nrel.gov/news/press/2018/nrel-details-great-potential-for-floating-pv-systems.html">https://www.nrel.gov/news/press/2018/nrel-details-great-potential-for-floating-pv-systems.html</a></div>
