9、surface of bodies of water such as lakes and reservoirs(水库)to save space on land or provide electricity to remote locations.Now,engineers and scientists are beginning to develop ways to put solar farms on the surface of the ocean to bring electricity to isolated(偏僻的)places,such as the island nation
10、of Indonesia,where more than a million people are without access to electricity.A study found that if 10 percent of the planets hydropower reservoirs were covered with floating solar panels,4,000 gigawatts of electricity could be generated as much as all the fossil(化石)fuel power plants in the world.
11、While solar farms may be cheaper,they still use space that could be used for things like farming and housing.“Floating solar is very convenient because it can just be put on top of the water,and if you need more electricity you can put on more solar panels,”said Dr.Luofeng Huang.The difficulty with
12、floating solar panels on the ocean is the roughness(汹涌)of the waves,which can damage solar panels.New research is being conducted to develop methods for keeping solar panels operative in the high seas.Huangs research team is developing a different kind of solar power plant offshore that will use a f
