I think you may be confusing โ€œinstead ofโ€ with โ€œas well asโ€

Nope, never said instead either ;)

While it's an abandoned industrial site I'd like to point out to the Kreidsee, in Hemmoor in Germany which also is an abandoned quarry (1862 - 1976) which is filled with water. Today is't used for deep diving and deco training and has it filled itself with all sorts of underwater life too (yes, i've seen it first hand).

So don't get me wrong, I'm not against it, I'm just wondering about the effects this solution could/might have. I'd expect the higher humidity levels directly above the pond will have (negative) effect on the live expectancy of the panels too. So i'm just questioning if it's a good idea in the long run, but I guess time will tell. (Would been nice if they left a pit uncovered so we have something to compare it with but I doubt that)
