Floating solar is no longer a futuristic concept, it’s a present-day opportunity. As the United States accelerates its transition toward a low-carbon grid, the integration of floating solar presents a high-impact, land-efficient solution with immense untapped potential.
That’s why Polytrade Global is entushiastic to announce its participation in the 2nd Annual Conference on Floating Solar in the US, organized by REGlobal and taking place on July 9, 2025, at the Jay Conference Center Midtown East, New York.
Why Floating Solar? Why Now?
According to the latest data from NREL, the U.S. has the capacity to install between 861 GW to 1,042 GW dc of floating solar on federally owned reservoirs alone equivalent to nearly half of what’s needed to decarbonize the national grid.
This emerging market is cost-competitive, technologically mature and holds strong synergies with hydropower, thermal plants and offshore wind projects. Yet, federal and state-level incentives and regulatory clarity remain key accelerators for scaling deployment.
What to Expect at the Conference
This one-day summit is set to bring together key stakeholders across the floating solar value chain from regulators, utilities, and developers to investors, EPCs, grid operators, and technology providers.
Core topics include:
Policy and permitting outlooks for floating solar projects;
Real-world developer case studies and grid integration challenges;
Construction, O&M, and financing best practices;
Technology trends shaping the floating PV sector.
Polytrade Global’s Perspective
With deep expertise in EPC project development and infrastructure financing, Polytrade Global also acts as a technology integrator and trusted execution partner.
Our presence at this event underlines our mission to support scalable, future-ready solar infrastructure onshore and floating.
As part of the event, we will engage with industry leaders and explore:
Sustainable investment models for floating solar;
Infrastructure synergies in hybrid project development;
Supply chain optimization in solar deployment.
We believe that floating solar is not just a technical solution, but a strategic move one that aligns environmental, economic, and spatial priorities.
