With solar, available land isn't really a constraint so I don't think there is a huge need to put solar panels in the water versus just putting them on empty land or roofs.

Pumped storage doesn't really care what the temperature of the reservoir is, so instead of heating it up with the sun, you keep more water in the reservoir through less evaporation, and extract the solar energy that would otherwise do nothing.
