Fishery-Solar Complementary Power Station System

This system optimizes land and water use by combining aquaculture and renewable energy production, contributing to environmental sustainability and economic benefits. It adopts the integrated design of piles and columns, which can meet the requirements of horizontal bearing capacity and vertical pressure bearing capacity. As a result, the construction speed is fast, no need to excavate the earth, little environmental impact, and good for soil and water conservation. A good pile foundation is more advantageous than traditional braced foundations in fish ponds, soft soil and other high groundwater areas.

Advantages:

Dual Land Use: Efficient use of water resources, combining energy generation and fish farming.

Enhanced Water Quality: The shade from solar panels helps reduce water temperature and inhibit algae growth, which can improve water quality for fish farming.

Renewable Energy Generation: Produces clean, renewable electricity, contributing to carbon reduction and energy sustainability.

Economic Benefits: Increases revenue by combining two productive activities on the same land/water resource.

Reduced Land Competition: This system mitigates conflicts over land use by utilizing water bodies, which are often underused for solar power generation.

Long-Term Investment: Generates a stable income from electricity sales, with low operational costs after installation.

Installation Steps:1. Site Selection: Choose appropriate water bodies, like fish ponds or reservoirs, with stable water levels and minimal wave action.

2. Design and Engineering: Create a custom design based on local solar resources, water depth, and aquaculture needs.

3. Mounting System Installation: Set up the floating or raised mounting structure for the PV panels. For floating systems, floats are used to support the panels on the water's surface.

4. PV Panel Installation: Install the solar panels onto the mounts, ensuring proper tilt and orientation for optimal sunlight capture.

5. Electrical Connections: Connect the solar panels to inverters and other necessary electrical components, linking them to the power grid or storage systems.

6. Integration with Fishery Operations: Ensure that the fish farming environment is not negatively impacted, and that there is easy access for monitoring and maintenance of both solar and aquaculture systems.

7. Testing and Commissioning: Test the system to ensure proper functioning and safety before going live.

FAQ

Q: Can the Fishery-Solar system be installed in any water body? 

A: It is best suited for fish ponds, reservoirs, and stable water bodies. The water depth and wave conditions must be considered to ensure system stability.

Q: Does the shading from the solar panels affect fish growth? 

A: No, in fact, shading can be beneficial. It helps control water temperature and reduces algae growth, creating a more stable environment for fish.

Q: What materials are used for the floating systems? 

A: UV-resistant high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is commonly used for floats, while mounting structures are made from corrosion-resistant materials like aluminum or galvanized steel.

Q: What is the lifespan of a Fishery-Solar system? 

A: The system typically lasts over 25 years, similar to traditional solar PV installations, with minimal maintenance required.

Q: How does this system contribute to sustainability? 

A: By generating renewable energy and supporting sustainable fish farming, it reduces carbon emissions, conserves land resources, and promotes economic diversification.
