==============================================
Covering 10% of the world's hydropower reservoirs with Floatovoltaics would provide the same amount of electrical capacity as is currently available for fossil-fuel power plants. However, the environmental and social consequences must be assessed.
To decarbonize electricity, solar panels must be deployed over vast areas worldwide. The United States may require up to 61,000 square kilometers of solar panels by 2050, an area larger than the Netherlands1. Land-scarce countries like Japan and South Korea may have to dedicate 5% of their land to solar farms2.
The location of these panels is not a simple matter. The land is in high demand, as it is also required for food production and biodiversity conservation. Floating solar panels (' Floatovoltaics ') on reservoirs are one emerging solution.
