Its an interesting concept to install solar on lakes and rivers, i was thinking why cant they install on dry land it must be way cheaper. But this way it helps prevent water loss from evaporation, which according to the article is the original cause for massive power outages in the area due to not having enough water for hydro electric. If this concept is successful we can also do it for overly hot and dry areas that have chronic low water levels.
