Abstract In recent years, the application of solar photovoltaic (PV) has been developing rapidly with a large amount of PV power stations built and operating. However, the land resources for PV power plants are relatively limited. Offshore PV power plants are expected to become an alternative means to solve such problems. In this paper, the PVsyst and AQWA are used to comprehensively simulate the power generation performance of floating PV power stations and thin-film PV power stations under offshore conditions, and the factors affecting the performance of floating PV systems are studied. By establishing the nonlinear regression numerical models, the relationship between the factors is compared by path analysis. The results show that the swing angle has the greatest influence on the system performance. The above work provides certain guidelines for the development and construction of offshore PV systems.
