But if you ask solar-power enthusiasts, a reservoir is also not realizing its full potential. They could simultaneously gather energy from the sun and shade the water, reducing evaporation — an especially welcome bonus where droughts are getting worse. In many ways, solar panels and bodies of water can benefit one another.
