This publication examines the use of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology in aquaculture. It outlines key questions to keep in mind if you are considering solar arrays for a closed aquaculture system, and includes an example of a fish farm currently using PV power. Aquaculture is the cultivation of fish and aquatic animals and plants.
Solar energy can provide the power to drive closed-system aerators and pumps. The basic components of a PV system for aquaculture are not unlike any other system used for pumping water continuously: Solar array—a sufficient number of modules to meet electrical demand, described in more detail in the next section.
Through installing photovoltaic modules on the water's surface, the aquavoltaic industry can simultaneously generate clean energy while maintaining aquaculture operations underneath.
Despite the absence of official statistical data, the tendering and construction status published by the PV industry (Table 1) indicates that most large-scale aquaculture PV power generation projects are located in the Asia-Pacific region.
The representative residential PV system (RPV) for 2024 has a rating of 8 kW dc (the sum of the system's module ratings). Each module has an area (with frame) of 1.9 m 2 and a rated power of 400 watts, corresponding to an efficiency of 21.1%.
The costs of materials, equipment, facilities, energy, and labor associated with each step in the production process are individually modeled. Input data for this analysis method are collected through primary interviews with PV manufacturers and material and equipment suppliers.
Market analysts routinely monitor and report the average cost of PV systems and components, but more detail is needed to understand the impact of recent and future technology developments on cost. Consequently, benchmark systems in the utility-scale, commercial, and residential PV market sectors are evaluated each year.
