VOICED: Italian engineers pioneer floating solar panels

The video discusses a solar panel array on a lake in Italy, highlighting its ability to track the sun and its cost-effectiveness compared to traditional panels. The system is more efficient due to water cooling and could power 10 homes annually. It has attracted interest from regions like Sicily, which could save money on energy costs. The panels are less visually intrusive and economically viable, with international interest from countries like South Korea, France, and Germany.

Describe the compatibility of the new solar panel system with existing solar installations.

What is the total cost of the research conducted so far, and what is the potential for recouping this cost?
