The cool water can improve solar panel efficiency. Hotter panels produce less energy.
Makes sense. But does it really negate the elevated construction costs? I must assume such a station is significantly more expensive to build
Not only construction, but also maintenance costs. I imagine they are harder to access, if needed, and salt water is hostile to any structure
True!
