Fishery PV complementary solar projects have become one of the most popular dual-mode energy solutions in the global renewable energy industry. By installing solar mounting structures over ponds, reservoirs, and fish farms, investors can achieve “power generation on the water, breeding under the water” to maximize land and water utilization.

Different from conventional solar mounts, fishery PV structures face humid, corrosive, and high-wind water environments, requiring exclusive structural design and anti-rust technology.

What Is Fishery PV Complementary Mounting System?

Fishery PV mounting system is a customized steel structure designed specifically for aquatic environments. It adopts fixed steel pipe pile foundations to support solar panels above the water surface without affecting fish and shrimp growth.、

Core Features of Fishery PV Structure

• Long-span beam design to reduce underwater pile quantity

• High galvanized thickness for anti-corrosion performance

• Reserved lighting gaps for aquatic ecological balance

• High wind resistance for open water areas

Professional Fixed Pile Foundation for Water Solar Projects

We only provide mature and stable fixed pile fishery PV mounting solutions, which are widely used in large-scale fishery solar farms

 How Fixed Water Pile Structure Works

Steel pipe piles are driven vertically into the water bottom foundation. The stable base supports C steel beams and solar rails to hold PV panels firmly. This structure avoids floating risks and adapts to seasonal water level changes.

Anti-Corrosion Technology — The Key for Water Solar Lifespan

Corrosion is the biggest enemy of water solar structures. Fishery environments contain moisture, algae, and mild corrosive substances that easily erode ordinary steel materials.

Professional Galvanized Protection Standard

Our fishery PV brackets adopt heavy hot-dip galvanized treatment:

• Z400–Z600 high zinc coating thickness

• Full sealing welding technology

• 304 stainless steel fasteners for all connections

Why Ordinary Brackets Fail in Fishery Projects

Common solar brackets with thin galvanized layers will rust within 1–3 years in water environments, causing structure deformation and safety hazards. Our heavy anti-corrosion design guarantees a 25-year service life.

Scientific Layout Design for Fish and PV Coexistence

A qualified fishery PV project must balance power generation efficiency and aquaculture environment.

Reasonable Spacing and Height Design

Our engineers design proper row spacing and installation height:

• Ensure sufficient sunlight penetration for underwater creatures

• Prevent excessive water temperature drop

• Maintain natural water circulation

Avoid Over-Shading Risks

Unreasonable dense solar layout will cause algae death, water turbidity, and reduce fishery production. Our customized layout perfectly balances dual economic benefits.

Wind Load Design for Open Water Environment

Open water surfaces have no wind barriers, resulting in higher wind pressure than land and rooftop projects

Custom Local Wind Speed Calculation

We design every fishery PV structure according to the local official wind load standard to ensure overall stability during strong winds and storms.

Economic & Ecological Advantages of Fishery PV Projects

Double Income Increase Mode

Combine solar power sales profit and aquaculture breeding profit to greatly improve return on investment.

 Land Resource Saving

No occupation of farmland, mountain land or construction land, making full use of idle water resources.

Water Ecological Protection

Solar panel shading reduces water evaporation and restrains excessive algae growth, optimizing the water environment.

 International Industry Standard Compliance

All our fishery PV structural designs follow global renewable energy specifications issued by the IRENA (International Renewable Energy Agency).
