Excited to share our latest research by Dr. Shafiqur Rehman, Dr. Mohamed E. Zayed, and Dr. Kashif Irshad, published in Energy Conversion and Management (SCIE, Q1, IF=10.0).

🔹 Key Insights:
✅ Solar floating PV (SFPV) boosted power output by 59.25% & energy by 69.70%
✅ Reduced PV panel temperature by 32.36%
✅ Developed AI framework integrating LightGBM, GRU, LSTM, fine-tuned with Brown Bear Optimization (BBOA)

This research, supported by the RETI grant from IRC-SES, KFUPM, advances Saudi Vision 2030 goals in sustainable energy!
