In the blazing sun of northern Egypt, a quiet revolution is unfolding — above the canals.
Instead of leaving water to evaporate under desert heat, engineers are installing solar panels over irrigation canals. These panels do two things at once:
Generate clean energy
Reduce water loss by up to 70%
The solar roofs also shade crops nearby, cut algae growth, and reduce land use — turning every canal into a solar corridor.
