6 FAQs about [British Indian Ocean Territory 5 solar panels cost]
Could floating solar power boost UK energy security?
Using just 2.3% of the total area of Europe’s hydropower reservoirs for floating solar installations could produce 42.3TWh of power each year. Given that the UK has around 570 reservoirs (although not all of these produce hydropower), floating solar installations could provide a significant boost to UK energy security.
Can solar panels reduce wave height in the Indian Ocean?
With academic and commercial partners in Indonesia, they hope to have a demonstration system in the Indian Ocean in 12 months time. Called Solar2Wave, it will have a floating breakwater upstream of the solar panels which, Mr Huang says, has the effect of reducing wave height by about 90%.

Can solar panels be installed on the ocean surface?
So scientists and engineers are working on ways to install solar panels on the ocean surface, providing power to those living onshore nearby. "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," says Mr Huang.
