Abstract
A data-analysis-based process of controlling a floating solar array location is provided. The process includes providing data analysis-based control of location of the floating solar array on water within a geographical area. The floating solar array has a propulsion system coupled to the floating solar array to facilitate relocating of the floating solar array. The control is configured to identify, using one or more machine learning prediction models, a region of a plurality of regions of the geographical area which meets, for a forecasted time period, a predefined criteria for harvesting energy from the floating solar array. Further, the control is configured to initiate, using the propulsion system, dynamic relocating of the floating solar array to the identified region of the geographical area to facilitate solar energy harvesting from the floating solar array for the forecasted time period.
