California studies solar panels over irrigation canals
Original: What California is learning from solar panels built over irrigation canals
California is testing and studying solar panels installed over irrigation canals, an approach that generates renewable energy while shading water and reducing evaporation. Projects in the state are offering lessons on how much power the canopies can produce and how the shading affects water conservation, as officials weigh wider deployment of canal-top solar across California's extensive water delivery network.
Why now: Interest in dual-use clean energy projects that save water is growing as California pushes renewable targets and faces persistent drought.
