"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."

Floating photovoltaic systems, or “floatovoltaics,” provide electricity and reduce evaporation. Plus, you don’t need to clear land for a solar farm.

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
