99 • floating photovoltaic systems can be effectively adapted to the specific constraints and opportunities of post-mining (or post-industrial in general) water bodies, • by integrating composite floating platforms, a high-frequency single-wire energy transfer system, buffer energy storage, and an advanced energy management system, the proposed architecture extends beyond conventional FPV solutions, • a flexible, fully relocatable, adaptive approach suitable for early-stage reclamation environments can be introduced. The main conclusions of the current stage of study are as follows: • FPV installations can be deployed during early phases of post-mining flooding if designed for variable hydrological and spatial conditions. • Composite materials provide a technically viable and environmentally favorable alternative to steel and HDPE in FPV structures, particularly in aggressive aquatic environments. • High-frequency SWET, supported by energy storage and appropriate control strategies, represents a promising option for short-distance power transmission from FPV systems. • The integration of FPV, storage, and EMS is essential for stabilizing power flows and enabling experimental validation of non-standard transmission concepts. • FPV systems designed according to the POSTEN principles can support climate-neutrality and just-transition objectives while remaining compatible with long-term reclamation and land-use planning. Future work will focus on demonstrator-scale validation, long-term monitoring of mechanical and electrical performance, and assessment of environmental interactions. The results are expected to contribute to technical guidelines and regulatory pathways for FPV deployment on post-mining water bodies. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Funded by the European Union.
