In most cases adding floating on a hydro electric power plants lake can easily produce more electricity then the hydro power plant itself. If you cover 50% of Lake Mead the lake from Hover Dam, that solar plant could produce 127TWh a year, which is more then half of California's electricity consumption in a year.
