alt Hacker NewsOne of the solar farms is in a tidal flat. Are those solar panels meant to be waterproof? I’d imagine they may not last as long from sea salt exposure too.

China has has Megawatt-scale floating PV at sea too.
Solar panels are waterproof (how else would they survive rain) as are insulated electric wires. The only challenge is connectors, and there are ways to make connectors submersible-safe.
This is how floating solar is a thing.
