what are your thoughts on installing solar panels above bike paths?

Ooh interesting, I'd never heard about this before! Have written about the potential for solar over canals: https://www.latimes.com/environment/newsletter/2021-04-22/solar-power-water-canals-california-climate-change-boiling-point. But bike paths are a new one for me. Any articles or literature you can point me to?

Seen pictures on Reddit. I’ll look and pass along. I know it’s been done in Europe. Also between highway lanes, when they put in commuter light rail.

Or what about installing solar panels over the CA aqueduct? Not only will this produce electricity, but it will reduce the water loss from evaporation.

Yes, that's exactly what I wrote about in the story linked above! https://www.latimes.com/environment/newsletter/2021-04-22/solar-power-water-canals-california-climate-change-boiling-point
