A floating photovoltaic power plant for irrigation and fish farming
As a farmer, you are concerned with a wide range of topics. One of them is optimizing your yields and costs to stay profitable. We know that farming involves high energy consumption.
Whether you run a livestock operation or agricultural land to grow things on or underwater, irrigation is essential and requires a relatively high level of power consumption to operate. If you specialize in fish farming, aquaponics systems are energy-efficient, but you may be looking for a way to diversify your revenue streams and use your ponds to their full potential.
What if there was a way to reduce your farming and fish farming costs and generate extra income at the same time?
That’s what we offer at Laketricity!
Your floating solar project : which benefits ?
Did you know?
There are many advantages to developing a floating solar project on your water. Let’s find out what they are!
- Preventing water evaporation: this is a crucial concern not only for your farm, but also on a wider scale for the ecological transition,
- Preserving precious land : by installing solar panels on a water body, you don’t encroach on the land you use for your livestock or crops,
- Avoiding land-use conflicts thanks to the compatibility of the solar power plant with existing activities on site, such as aquaponics: the floating solar panels occupy only part of the water body, in no way hindering the development of aquatic plants and the reproduction of fish. The shade provided by the panels even reduces the risk of “sunburn” for the fish, thus limiting their stress.
- Reducing algae growth by limiting photosynthesis and improving fish habitat,
- Receiving rent that gives you greater financial flexibility for projects such as bank maintenance,
- Benefiting from a water coverage rate adapted to your operation and your needs. We will design around any ongoing activities at your pond.
Finally, we believe that profitability and your own business should always come first. The floating solar power plant is an added value to your site, which is why we will ensure that it serves your core business.

Floating solar panels on a fish pond
It all began in 2016 when Cedric Jaeg, CEO of Laketricity Taiwan, joined a working group on the development of solar power plants applied to aquaculture. As a result of this consortium, in 2017 Laketricity Taiwan won a tender to supply the floating solution that would be used to test FPV on...
