It's likely well-suited for that, but in general hydro + floating solar could be ideal as the power infrastructure is already in place. Pumped hydro is not 100%

It's likely well-suited for that, but in general hydro + floating solar could be ideal as the power infrastructure is already in place. Pumped hydro is not 100% ideal as the drastic changes in water level can cause some problems with designing a solid system.
