The World's Largest Floating Solar Farm 

They should really build one above the Salton Sea in California. That would slow down evaporation and the exposure of the poisoned lakebed. And it could power half of California.

@@illuminate4622 Good idea. The lake is shrinking though as I understand it. I wonder if a floating solar cell canopy could save it

I assume there will be some chemical corrosion for the soloar planal to deal with, especially if they are floating on sea water 24-7.

@@TL-fe9si Most floating solar farms are on fresh water, which have no tides or big waves, so the casing structure is less expensive to build. In sea water cases, then yes, there would be more maintenance required. Even then though, the floating ocean solar farm is a lot cheaper to maintain than the other two significant sea water renewable energy systems, which are wind power, and tide water turbines. Both of those are partially or fully under water, which require boat transport, and sometimes divers to maintain.

I think floating solar farms is best🙌

Watts three orders of magnitude between friends? Pun intended.

I was about to post about this colossal mistake too. Apparently the largest nuclear power plant has a capacity of over 8GW and the three gorges dam has a capacity of 22.5GW.

he mentioned 300GWH and 120MW. Different units and confusing at first glance

4:30 Shows 10,6000 TWh, says 10,600TW. Wrong number and wrong unit. Nothing to learn here

@@leetakamiya 🤣🤣🤣 nice one

The desert would also be a good place (obviously there is almost always sun there).

@@commander-yx617 The transporting issues. Also solar panels would catch so much dust that they wouldn't produce any electricity

I always tought of that. If the building is in a sunny place, it'd be great. Also nearly no electricity-transporting issues. Still, it would create some issues while taking permissions for all houses and shops.I think gactories and storage halls wouldn't cause problems

@@commander-yx617 yes. The transportation is a huge problem. There‘re plans to produce hydrogen with that much energy in the desert, that we then pump through pipelines into europe from Saudi/Africa with almost no transportation losses. Plus Dust isn't a problem either with sun->Hydrogen plants instead of sun->solar->Electrolysis

@@plutus7343 found the propaganda spreader

India also stabilised floating solar panels in MP.

@@jayantsingh3078 They copied India...you mean?

@@jayantsingh3078 In Telangana and Rajasthan as well

@@parnamsaini4751 no, noone copied anyone, floating solar farms need local configuration so each instance is different.

What do you mean if they are able to get it done. They are doing it, in China. Whatch the video again you will see.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I just had to add. Cryptocurrency is the future of money and a very good way to invest and make extra profit, I am grateful to Mr. Larry Kent Nick for introducing me and making me earn so much thanks to this new innovation

Can't believe we're all talking about the same guy, now I'm sure I'm too lucky, I firmly believe now that anyone who does business with Mr. Kent will have good testimonials

I already like this guy, I would like to get involved please how can I contact him?

I like the good recommendations on this guy, I will contact him as soon as possible, thank you all for all the help, it's been an honor 😊

Totally AGREED. Mankind Progress / Evolution is NECESSARY as a SPECIES. Else Stagnate and Die off.

Solar thermic is different then photovoltaic. Photovoltaic is for generating electricity.

Mmm, when Chinese gets literally translated into English it quickly loses most of its catchiness

There's no point in deploying these into water which substantially increases costs. These could be used to cover roofs thus lowering structures cooling requirements while prolonging the life of the roof. It literally be putting the power to precisely where it's used eliminating the need tor power cables and other such infrastructure to support it. Also, water and electricity aren't friends.

@@mhamma6560 Placing solar panels on water helps keep the water cool and the water keeps the panels cool and clean which helps the panels work better. Rooftop solar is also great there's room for both.

@@pauladams1829 and what are these solar panels made of? Cause if they contain metals like zinc, aluminium or minerals made from coal, then lake will get poisoned when these tiny particles and poison from battery (lithium based) might leak into water. Sure, water might not get hot, it just turns lethal anyway.

@@aereiq there is no pollution free energy production scheme out there. Its rested on a plastic film on the membrane

well, unless hurricane hits solar panels, then you can literally dodge flying panels.

@bel z. but for how long? Also was there any report if those floatin panels actually needed to be replaced?

Does your home have solar panels on top?

My personal preference is to have my panels on-site, for the sake of my own independence. But I do like the idea of using surface water as they do in the video, for those people who prefer buying from a utility, people in city high-rises, for example.

But people in cities lives in blocks. Do you think a 200m^2 roof will cover energy consumption of 20 families?

In the next sentence they alluded to the lake being used for fishing. Imo it makes sense to lump all exploitation efficiently into one place.

@@stefan_popp Sure, the thing is ecosystems are much more fragile than one might imagine and inferences can cause larger changes and loss of biodiversity. E.g. The bird-poop might play an important role to some organisms serving as prey for the fish again. But that might not be relevant in completely artifical systems like these. Just wanted to hint at previous attempts to "fix" a systems that went terribly wrong (e.g. rabbits in australia)

@@homo-sapiens-dubium I completely agree. And I would even say that this is not entirely artificial (like indoor fish farms), so the fishers rely on a somewhat functioning ecosystem for fish productivity as well. Unfortunately, there exist too many examples of cane toads, kudzu, and cats.

@@homo-sapiens-dubium How do you feel about the GMO mosquitos being released in Florida?

@@jakehix8132 should be careful everywhere in an ecosystem, except for mosquitos, these suckers deserve extinction, lol

In a bunker, lol

That is exactly what everyone who are commenting have missed, less water is evaporated, daytime or peak power usage energy generation and the grid is already there.

I'm pretty sure there are more protected water reserves "Lakes not open to the public" then there are man made and natural lakes people are allowed to go to.

@@equalinfinite can’t do this in US as US will not follow China. US will invent something better.

If their lakes start evaporating you would think they'd suck it up. Sure, America won't follow China it'll just buy their labor off them like they do everything else.

Create More Man Made Resevoirs, and No Building of Homes, and no boating !!!

@@rogerhegemier8491 From what land? You have to usurp the current owners to do this, and that's never an easy sell in congress unless you can make the case of improved benefit (as least for some people) like nice home sites, fishing, swimming, and boating. That's how all the damns of the Tennessee Valley Authority were built.

sorry are you saying the issue is mixing up MW and GW, or that adding the h (to either) means your talking about storage capacity since its power over time vs just instant power with no storage? I'm just confused as to why you wouldn't use MW/MWh to stick to the same unit.

@@somethingsomething404 Hi. The usage of the "h" indicates that a certain amount of power (MW, GW, kW, etc.) is provided for a certain amount of time (h) which results in energy (MWh, GWh, kWh, etc.). So power is that capacity to do some work aka energy. Storage capacity can be expressed as power capacity (e.g. in MW, kW, GW, etc.) or in energy stored by the storage (e.g. kWh, MJ, MWh, etc.). Energy and power are strongly correlated but they are not the same. It is physically just very important to keep these apart.

Not really, imagine a typhoon or strong storm ripping them to shreds

This made me double-take too LOL! I just looked it up and they actually meant 200MW. The entire project is 320MW total.

The process of building solar panel is toxic

Clean and green is an abandoned idea. It's original proponents escaped from Paris accord, their hidden agenda being more harmful than useless. Others take time realize and to follow

Toxicity of manufacturing solar panels has been rapidly declining, from chemicals treating the glass, to the panels themselves, for decades.... likewise, traditional power plants have *always* been toxic, so think about what you're saying. "Clean and green is an abandoned idea" Nope. "Paris accord, their hidden agenda being more harmful than useless" Also, nope. "Others take time realize and to follow " More industries have switched to green energy sources in the past year than any time in history, so also nope.

@@jakehix8132 ok the rare element for solar is mined in our country n the waste which is toxic is dumbed in our country . This rare element is transported to the country which manufactures the solar panel . Lets be clear about renewable energy 1) solar = the rare material is mined n the toxic waste is dumbed back to earth 2) energy from garbage = the process releases large methane which is toxic . For the above two .. the company holders will tell the world they dumb the toxic/ methane energy is handled in a way that wont effect the environment .. its a lie . Bcoz i live just 40km away from the mining of rare element used for solar . 3) biofuel is definitely bad .. bcoz jungle are cleared out for plantation . ( palm oil is known for this n my country is one of the largest producer ) Well i can only think of wind energy being the best but im not sure about the details.

@@jakehix8132 in europe, perhaps... But as for china who has majority of solar panel industry today? No, not so ecological as you might think.

It’s coming along at a good pace, I had mine put in last year. The installers were backlogged over a month. It took them one day to put in 11 panels in three locations on my roof many feet apart, plus new electrical panel and the solar control box.

@@Chainyanker007 progressive and inspiring news. All the very best

South East Asian here. Demand is rising for residentials, we actually had ours installed two days ago. Although it is cheaper than half decade ago, once the price goes further down, more people will avail it.

@@Chainyanker007 happy to know about progress. Am contemplating similar actin, paused for inspiration. Would those 11 panels cover entire load requirement when generating, nit after sun down. Would not like to confuse generation with storage

@@Chainyanker007 fail to understand why often un nt case, good things happen in installments and with unexpected delays

And floods

they probably study the geography and such, so I believe it is secured from it.. they are stupid if they put those in a place where lots of typhoon, flooding and other natural disasters..

@@asahi_ih natural disaster is unpredictable . Ask japan .. im sure they did their safety research before building nuclear plants.. but earthquake destroyed it .

50% should be left for the lakes ecosystem!

And, how would a government enforce such a policy? I stay in a country of a billion people, and it's going to be quite a humongous task to manage, if at all that happens.

Germany..... 😭

@@venkate5hgunda They can pass this as a law. Like in England the COVID-19 restrictions were legally passed as laws and anymore found to be breaking those were punished through the system. They could do the same for the policy for planting 1 tree a year. It’s a very easy job to do and doesn’t take more than an hour to do per person. And a billion more trees would greatly help your country since it’s probably one of the biggest emitters in the world.

@@SchwertmeisterSquall ?

@@julianhaddad1431 yeah that too but that can be done by governments and corporations themselves. I’m talking about getting the public more involved which will make them more aware and more self conscious about their choices. I don’t see any reason against planting a minimum of 1 tree a year per person and maybe they could just increase to 2 trees a year.

Still another reason people get confused about EVs.

We have already floating solar panels in state MadhyaPradesh.

@@AnarchistDoc no lol

its officially scrapped

@@jayantsingh3078 operational?

Chup baklol.

And the fish. Ultimately the fish need sunlight because they eat algae that depend on it. The idea that solar panels will increase fish stocks is a Chinese truth.

Fuck birds. Lol

got it the birds only eating near the solar farms.

@@mikeylikesit6588 I'll say that for you

@@mikeylikesit6588 They're lousy in bed. Better to EAT them.

the temparature gradient would be too small to make something efficient out of it, lets say you get 60 degrees C, you can get 50% efficiency max. with 30 degrees air temperature. And thats the upper limit (carnought thermal efficiency) . Meanwhile thermosolar plants reach 400 degrees and can still be improved...

@@homo-sapiens-dubium That makes sense but the overall efficiency of TEGs nowadays I think is around 5%. If they were way higher it might make sence even with a 30 degree difference. Ive also been thinking, once you start drawing current from the TECs, the temp on the cooler side heats up. That might heat up the lake or reservoir and cause different issues. Anyway, Cheers.

all needs to be waterproof

@@ed.t.hansen6499 residential rooftop solar and any other common solar system is waterproof. You say it like this was an issue.
