Repurposing reservoirs

There's several other countries doing this already. China and Europe have some impressive floating solar arrays. India has been covering their canals with solar. Solar is the future, wether you believe it or not.

A question for the BBC brain trust:

If solar panels on a resevoir would kill all organisms in the resevoir by blocking the sun light, then how are farmers growing crops under solar panels?

At the end of the day, you always need power on demand, not just when the sun is shining or wind is blowing. While these “renewables” can supplement the grid, they almost never are a cost effective complete solution.
