Floating Solar: Saving Water & Powering Communities #climatetech #deeptech #water #sustainability

Jerome Season 3 Episode 3

💧☀️ In Australia, 1 trillion litres of water vanish every year — lost to evaporation.

But what if the solution was simple… and powerful?

Floating solar panels are changing the game.

They shade reservoirs, cutting water evaporation by up to 50%, *while also generating clean electricity*. Even better, the cool water underneath helps the panels work more efficiently than land-based solar farms.

That means:

✅ Saving billions of litres of water every year

✅ Powering homes, farms, and even hydrogen facilities

✅ Fighting drought and climate change at the same time

From one brilliant idea comes two big solutions: more water + more clean energy.

Because sustainability doesn’t have to be complicated. It just needs the right ideas in the right places. 🌍✨
