The Sihong Hybrid Fishery-Solar 100MW PV project is located in Suqian city, Jiangsu province, and covers an area of about 2km2. The large-scale PV power plant was built on the local lake, intertidal zones and fish
Lily Calderwood knows more about wild blueberries than almost anyone. "They''re a good ground cover," she says of the berry bushes. "And they can grow under a solar panel." At the University of Maine in Orono,
As the largest single fishery-solar project in the world, the Tongwei 300 MW fishery-solar PV plant creates a new ecosystem under PV panels, technology and aquaculture coexist harmoniously. It serves as a
Another possible usage of the area within the PV system is for a fish farm. A study in China reported an increase in fish production under PV panels as much as 166.2 kg/acre compared to the area
The Chinese power and fibre optic cable maker and EPC contractor has unveiled a 100 MW solar power plant installed atop a fishpond. A floating PV installation in China.

Concord New Energy, a Chinese company that specializes in wind and solar power project development and operation, has installed a 70 MW solar plant atop a fish pond in an industrial park in Cangzhou, China’s Hebei region, according to an initial report from PV Magazine.
The project, which is situated on a pond, also supports fish and shrimp aquaculture. Trina Solar supplied 670 W solar panels for the installation. China's Concord New Energy has deployed a 70 MW solar plant on a fish pond in an industrial park in Cangzhou, China's Hebei province. The project features Trina Solar's 670W Vertex PV modules.
The fish and shrimp are expected to thrive. The 70MW fishery PV project. Farms where fish and algae thrive under solar panels might have secured their place in a future powered by renewable energy.
The combination of fish farming and solar power generation is no novelty in China. Some of the most notable projects of this kind include: a 120 MW project in Poyang county, Jiangxi province, completed in May 2016; and Hangzhou Fengling’s 200 MW project in Cixi, Zhejiang province, which was connected in January last year.
Without taking up precious land, China’s Hengtong Optic-Electric has developed two projects in one: a 100 MW solar PV plant, and a fish farm. The solar-acquaculture project was realized based on a 25-year concession agreement with a total investment of US$120 million.
