Photovoltaic panels rent fish pond land

Can Floating photovoltaic be used on fish ponds?

Château, P.- A. et al. Mathematical modeling suggests high potential for the deployment of floating photovoltaic on fish ponds. Sci. Total Environ. 687, 654–666 (2019). Pimentel Da Silva, G. D. & Branco, D. A. C. Is floating photovoltaic better than conventional photovoltaic? Assessing environmental impacts. Impact Assess. Proj.

Can floating solar panels be used to cover fish ponds?

Numerous studies have developed mathematical models of fish pond ecosystems (Piedrahita et al., 1984; Svirezhev et al., 1984; Wolfe et al., 1986; Li and Yakupitiyage, 2003; Zhang et al., 2017; Granada et al., 2018), but to our knowledge, the ecological effects of covering fish ponds with floating solar panels have not yet been studied.

Why should AquaVoltaic pond owners cancel their contracts?

As a result of the increased land rent and a lack of fishponds for aquaculture farmers, some pond owners are considering canceling their contracts with the original rented farmers and renting to PV installers [ 67 ]. Furthermore, the cooperation of farmers is crucial to the success of aquavoltaic projects.

Does Floating photovoltaic (FPV) affect the aquatic environment?

With the aggravation of global warming and the increasing demand for energy, the development of renewable energy is imminent. Floating photovoltaic (FPV) is a new form of renewable energy generation. However, the impact of FPV on the aquatic environment is still unclear.

Could solar development help reshape Taiwan's fish ponds?

Taiwan’s fishing villages are aging and shrinking as younger people take city jobs. Climate change has also taken a toll. Severe storms damage fishpond embankments, while extreme heat and rainfall stress the fish. Solar development could help reverse these trends.

Is Floating photovoltaic (FPV) the answer to Taiwan's energy mix?

Floating photovoltaic (FPV) allows harnessing solar energy in land-scarce areas. We present a calibrated model of a fish pond ecosystem subject to FPV covering. Monte Carlo runs show a beneficial trade-off between fish and energy productions. FPV has the potential to significantly contribute to Taiwan's national energy mix.
