When I first saw a picture of a huge floating solar project last week, I though it was a fake photo and a joke. Boy, was I wrong.

Thanks for this info:

"India has built the largest solar floating plant in Madhya Pradesh. The 600-megawatt plant, built on the backwaters of Omkareshwar Dam, was badly damaged by a summer storm on April 9. The plant’s solar panels sit on top of floats that are supposed to adapt to changes in water currents. The damaged floating plant is developed near the dam. The storm that damaged it had winds reported at 50 kilometers/hr, which is just over 31 miles/hr – relatively tame winds."
