In India's state of Madhya Pradesh, the world's largest floating solar plant at Omkareshwar dam suffered severe damage during a storm on April 9. Footage captures the destructive impact as strong winds uprooted and damaged solar panels, disrupting operations.

There is talk about putting floating solar panels on the canals that bring water to SoCal. Not only would that generate electricity but it would cut down on evaporation as well. I just hope they figure out how to protect these things before they waste all that money.
