The Fisheries Research Institute (FRI), Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan began to cooperate with SUNNY RICH POWER CO., LTD. in October, 2018. We installed column-type solar photovoltaic facilities of different shading rates on a 2-hectare experimental pond of Taisi Experimental Field in Yunlin, with an installed power generation capacity at 1,436 kW. We also connected our facilities with Taipower’s feeders and joined the ranks of green power producers. In November, the FRI began to farm clams, which officially started fishery-electricity symbiosis aquaculture. Around the same time, we also officially launched solar power generation, hoping our aquaculture model combined with photovoltaic energy can promote green electricity on one hand and increase fishermen’s income on the other.

In addition, since photovoltaic panels can provide shade, they can make the temperature not too high in summer and retain heat in winter. Especially milkfish, seven-star perch, and clams in summer can grow relatively well under shade. In the future, the column-type photovoltaic facilities can also be used to collect rainwater and prevent clams from being damaged by salinity dilution with large amount of rainwater.
