What is it about?
This paper deals with the environmental impacts of large-scale solar photovoltaic. I compare traditional terrestrial PV to the emerging floating PV technology. This manuscript brings several insights about the two technologies and their impacts on each project implementation phase.

Why is it important?
As far as I know, this is the first paper to compare environmental impacts of floating and conventional PV plants. Therefore, in my perspective, this work became one of the most important papers when talking about the impacts of solar PV.
Perspectives
I believe this paper will have many citations as it is a comprehensive review of impacts on floating and terrestrial PV. Some researches have also contacted me saying it was a great contribution and they wanted to establish a partnership for future projects.
