Generating energy by means of renewable sources is a vital strategy for all the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Photovoltaic (PV) systems in the GCC have been a primary choice among renewable sources due to regional weather and high levels of irradiance. However, unfavourable environmental factors such as high temperatures, soiling and dust have been a concern for PV performance. Offshore PV systems can provide a solution to mitigate these issues and improve system performance. Thus far, floating PV (FPV) systems have remained unexplored in the GCC region. This paper identifies and presents six potential regions in the GCC in which FPV systems could be deployed based on three environmental factors.

波斯湾的潜在地区将部署海上浮动光伏系统

对于所有海湾合作委员会（GCC）国家而言，通过可再生能源发电都是一项至关重要的战略。由于区域天气和高辐照度，海湾合作委员会中的光伏（PV）系统已成为可再生能源的主要选择。但是，不利的环境因素（例如高温，脏污和灰尘）一直是影响PV性能的因素。离岸光伏系统可以提供解决方案，以减轻这些问题并提高系统性能。到目前为止，在海湾合作委员会地区尚未开发浮动光伏（FPV）系统。本文根据三个环境因素，确定并提出了GCC中可以部署FPV系统的六个潜在区域。
