Recently, floating solar power has come into the spotlight as a renewable energy. However, because of uncertainty of its environmental impact, conflict between green and green (regulation on environmental protection restricts renewable energy supply) has been caused. Even though there is no direct regulation regarding floating solar power, Water Supply and Waterworks Installation Act restricts installation of a floating solar power plant within water source conservation area. Therefore, currently the floating solar power plants has been installed and operated in reservoirs for agriculture or reservoirs for drinking water designated as non-water source conservation area. This study reviews whether it is proper to distinguish the water source conservation area and non-water source conservation area in regard to installation of the floating solar power plant, even though standards for designation of the conservation area are not specificly clear. In addition, it suggests measures to overcome the conflict between green and green, which are conservation of water quality and aquatic ecosystem and supply of floating solar power. Considering studies on environmental impact of floating solar power is in its primary stage, areas where environmental impact is estimated low should be selected as a site for the floating solar power plant, relevant study should be proceeded to accumulate data, and based on the data, unnecessary restriction should be relaxed. Moreover, by clarifying the standards for designation of the conservation area under the Water Supply and Waterworks Installation Act, regulation for differential restriction should be developed based on the standards in order to flexibly restrict the floating solar power in accordance with location, scale, structure, etc. Above measures should be based on that environmental impact of floating solar power should be considered importantly so that renewable energy should be utilized in a “environmental-friendly” way.
