Integrating solar panels with farming, floatovoltaics... here's a good look at the latest solar tech.
mmalcCertainly add floatovoltaic to the mix where appropriate, but agrovoltaic and just rooftops and parking lots provide a wealth of space too.
“Land is at a premium” is to a first approximation a myth.
I superimposed the area required to power the US with PV on a map of general land use, with a deliberately easy comparison with the surface area of rural highways…

Floating solar power could help fight climate change — let’s get it right
Covering 10% of the world’s hydropower reservoirs with ‘floatovoltaics’ would install as much electrical capacity as is currently available for fossil-fuel power plants. But the environmental and social impacts must be assessed.
