Summary

This data article presents experimental results from submersion tests of photovoltaic (PV) cables with two different insulation materials in freshwater and artificial seawater, simulating real-life conditions of floating PV installations. Electrical insulation integrity was tested weekly, and water samples were periodically analyzed for dissolved copper and microplastic traces to detect cable degradation. The dataset supports assessment of environmental contamination risks from floating solar energy infrastructure in aquatic environments.

Study Type Environmental

Experimental data tables regarding the study of submersion of photovoltaic cables (with two different insulation materials) in freshwater and artificial seawater. Subjected to real life conditions, replicating when FPV systems are located in reservoirs or in the marine environment. Electrical insulation tests were carried out weekly to assess possible cable degradation, the physical-chemical characteristics of the water were also periodically monitored, complemented by analysis to detect traces of copper and microplastics in the water.
