This article describes the design and performance analysis of a floating photovoltaic (FPV) system that is placed on aquaculture ponds. The design process, system components. . The effects of a fishery complementary PV power plant, a kind of water-based PV technology, on the near-surface meteorology and aquaculture water environment were investigated in coastal aquaculture ponds in southeast China. The results showed that PV prevented 89~93% of the solar radiation on the. . Aquavoltaics – the integration of photovoltaic systems with aquaculture – is fast emerging as a transformative approach to meeting the twin challenges of clean energy generation and sustainable food production. Due to the lower water temperature, the hibernation period of the animal was reduced, as was mortality, compared to the previous year.
