Shanghai Electric to Develop 78 MW Solar-Fishery Project in China
Shanghai Electric is spearheading a consortium to develop a 78 MW solar-fishery project in China, which combines floating photovoltaic arrays with elevated canopies over aquaculture ponds. The project aims to enhance efficiency and sustainability through advanced technologies, including corrosion-resistant platforms and a battery-ready substation for energy storage. Revenue will be generated from both power sales and aquaculture profits, supported by various risk mitigation strategies.

Shanghai Electric is leading a consortium to develop a 78 MW solar-fishery project in China, integrating floating photovoltaic (PV) arrays with elevated canopies over aquaculture ponds. The project employs corrosion-resistant floating platforms that reduce evaporation, control water temperature, and manage algae growth.
It features string inverters and SCADA for efficient operation and maintenance, facilitating rapid fault isolation. The grid integration includes reactive power management, low voltage ride-through (LVRT), high voltage ride-through (HVRT), and ramp-rate control through a dedicated controller.
Additionally, a battery-ready substation is designed for energy storage to shift electricity output during peak demand. Revenue generation combines power sales with aquaculture profits, while various risk mitigation strategies are implemented, including standardized designs and biofouling monitoring.
