Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the effects of floating photovoltaic systems on reservoir hydrodynamics and water quality.
Conducted two case studies: one in Southern Germany and another in Southern Brazil, monitoring temperature and dissolved oxygen.
Utilized continuous recording and spot measurements with multiparameter sensors.
Simulated scenarios of floating photovoltaic coverage to assess impacts on advective transport and re-aeration processes.
No statistically significant differences in temperature fluctuations were observed between covered and uncovered points.
Dissolved oxygen concentrations decreased below the photovoltaic systems.
Both models showed a reduction in evaporation and surface temperature, with higher reductions noted in the Brazilian reservoir.
