Was thinking the same thing, UV bulbs under the panels shining into the water on the way. although if it is getting treated down the line maybe it doesn't matter
it would probably be crazy inefficient to block out the sun then install sun bulbs under the shades. i'm sure we could come out with a deal to block only some of it out.
Maybe we can put a little sun under the sun blocker
not sun bulbs just some LEDs, full spectrum would defeat the purpose of preventing algal growth
The fact that these things don't get shut down at night makes me feel like the UV from sunlight part is not part of making it safe.
there's probably environmental changes from having the stuff that UV kills not be killed even if it doesn't matter for the pre-consumption treatment.
