    Low voltage DC collection distributed over hundreds of km - sounds brilliant.

    Really- it’s a good idea with some real design and maintenance challenges. It also costs a great deal of money to implement. Covering unused land en mass is more cost effective, but still not enough to put everywhere. And just covering the water with a reflective surface would be cheaper, but still more expensive than losing the water to the atmosphere (so far).
