#Floatovoltaics 🌞 are a great idea for the #GreatSaltLake 🌅

Floating #solar #photovoltaic fields can power cities while conserving water.

If #solarpanels cover around 30% of the surface of #water reservoirs globally, researchers estimated the panels could reduce #evaporation by about 106 cubic km of water each year - i.e the annual water consumption of around 300 million people

https://www.ecowatch.com/floating-solar-panels-cities.html

"covering 30% of the surface of 115,000 reservoirs globally could generate 9,434 TWh. That’s more than twice the energy the entire US generates annually, and enough to fully power over 6,200 cities in 124 countries."

Okay, this was a very bad estimate.

Based on the reservoirs shown in this photo, the areas re Wikipedia (10.8 km²; say 8 km² useful), and the ~17 W/m² that BayWa r.e. is getting...

There is >130 MW of #floatovoltaics potential here. Plus the reduced evaporation. Wow. Do it.

There’s a couple of MW of #floatovoltaics potential just next to Heathrow. https://t.co/DFMbI3zenG
