Installing solar panels over California’s canals could yield water, land, air and climate payoffs

Renewable Energy World

And because water heats up more slowly than land, the canal water flowing beneath the panels could cool them by 10 degrees F, boosting production of electricity by up to 3%. Combining solar power with battery storage can help build microgrids in rural areas and underserved communities, making the power system more efficient and resilient.
