Short summary
Floating solar is growing rapidly in China, but its long-term development remains poorly documented. We created a decade-long map of floating solar installations in the Yangtze River Delta using satellite observations and visual verification. The mapped area increased from 17.4 square kilometers in 2015 to 145.4 square kilometers in 2024. This dataset supports renewable energy planning and future studies of environmental changes related to floating solar expansion.
