Design and performance evaluation of floating solar farms on aquaculture ponds

Integrating renewable energy technologies into current infrastructure is a calculated strategy to optimize land use and energy production. Another step toward food and energy security is the installation of floating solar farms (FSFs) in aquaculture ponds. 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, operational and environmental benefits, and efficiency metrics like thermal performance, energy output, and land saving are given top priority. Compared to traditional ground-mounted systems, the suggested floating solar farm model is more efficient because of the cooling effects of the water and lower land costs. Additionally, the study addresses possible ecological and economic ramifications, promoting wider implementation of this hybrid infrastructure model.
