#About the Floating Solar Explorer App
The **Floating Solar Explorer** has been developed by the [Rensselaer Institute for Data Exploration and Applications (IDEA)](https://idea.rpi.edu/) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Instuitute in support of the proposed [City of Cohoes, NY](https://www.ci.cohoes.ny.us/) Municipal Floating Solar Demonstration Project. This initial collaboration is designed to visualize the energy-generation opportunities and potential economic impact of adopting floating solar on human-made water reservoirs.

The Floating Solar Explorer’s U.S. map charts the 24,419 NREL-identified water reservoirs potentially 'suitable' for floating solar, by ownership and potential electricity generation (per MWh).
