The world’s largest array of floating solar panels in China’s Anhui province. Whether floating or hanging, solar panels have the potential to both provide electricity and reduce evaporation from reservoirs. But Africa has the most abundant solar resources in the world – typically twice the potential in Europe, says Sanchez.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret: Without power grid modeling tools, the transition to clean electricity would be an absolute mess. Just imagine if grid planners had to guess how many renewables are required to reduce emissions or how much capacity is needed to ensure grid reliability. Surely that would not end well.
