Goa Scraps Floating Solar Panel Plan; Eyes Canal-Side Installation

Goa Scraps Floating Solar Panel Plan; Eyes Canal-Side Installation

Goa was thinking about putting solar panels on top of the water in dams, like floating islands, to make electricity.

But they changed their mind!

Now, they are planning to put solar panels on the sides of canals instead.

The goal is to get half of Goa's power from clean energy by 2030.

A company wanted to build the floating solar panels, but the government worried it might make the water dirty.

The new plan uses land near the canals, which is already empty.

It's like they found a new, better place to put their solar panels!
