A new solar panel system will be able to track the sun while floating on the surface of artificial waterways, increasing efficiency without taking up any space on land.
The floating panels will use reflectors to increase the efficiency of the solar energy capture during different times of the day. The panels will also use the water to help stay cool, reducing costs to 20 percent less than conventional, ground based systems.
