Floating solar systems are considered a promising alternative to on-land photovoltaics. But a long-term experiment in the USA has now illustrated the downside of "floating PV" - and literally. Because if you cover smaller bodies of water such as ponds with floating solar panels, the negative effects become apparent almost immediately: The water becomes cooler, darker and contains significantly less oxygen. This changes degradation processes [...…
