[0002] In view of the unique geographical location and climatic characteristics of arid and semi-arid areas, on the one hand, the water surface of plain reservoirs and lakes can be used to build water photovoltaic power stations to effectively utilize the abundant solar energy resources and generate clean electricity. At the same time, the photovoltaic modules are cooled by the water body, which reduces the surface temperature of the modules and increases the power generation. On the other hand, through anti-evaporation water-saving technology, ineffective evaporation of the water surface can be reduced to alleviate the shortage of water resources in arid and semi-arid areas.
