Each panel would provide an entire ecosytem. In nature, when something large like that is present in the "desert" part, where little life seems to exist, the small things will take cover, which attracts the bigger things, which attracts the small things. These solar panels could provide a more consistent base of life for these temporary ecosystems. Actually, why not float them in the ocean? Each panel would provide an entire ecosytem.
