Global Leading Market Research Publisher QYResearch announces the release of its latest report “Fishery Solar Photovoltaic Project - Global Market Share and Ranking, Overall Sales and Demand Forecast 2026-2032”. Based on current situation and impact historical analysis (2021-2025) and forecast calculations (2026-2032), this report provides a comprehensive analysis of the global Fishery Solar Photovoltaic Project market, including market size, share, demand, industry development status, and forecasts for the next few years.
For renewable energy developers, aquaculture operators, and land-use planners, balancing clean energy generation with agricultural productivity is a critical challenge. Fishery solar photovoltaic project addresses this as a "Fishery-PV Hybrid Project" that organically combines photovoltaic power generation with modern aquaculture without affecting water area ecological functions. By installing photovoltaic arrays on water surfaces while preserving original aquaculture functions, this three-dimensional development model ("power generation on water, aquaculture underwater") achieves efficient clean energy utilization alongside fish and shrimp breeding. This model delivers the triple win of "fishery, electricity, and environmental protection"—solving land-use constraints while generating economic returns from both energy sales and aquaculture.

Market Size and Growth Fundamentals
The global fishery solar photovoltaic project market was valued at US$ 11,600 million in 2025 and is projected to reach US$ 82,390 million by 2032, growing at a staggering CAGR of 32.8% from 2026 to 2032. Growth is driven by land-use constraints for traditional ground-mounted solar, government support for renewable energy, and the economic benefits of dual-use water surface development.
Project Overview and Working Principle
Fishery solar photovoltaic project operates on a dual-use water surface model:
Photovoltaic Arrays: Installed on water surfaces of aquaculture ponds, reservoirs, or coastal waters
Aquaculture Operations: Fish, shrimp, crab, and other aquatic products raised beneath PV panels
Power Generation: Solar energy converted to electricity for grid sale or on-site use
Ecological Benefits: Reduced water evaporation, algae growth inhibition, and improved micro-ecosystem for fish
Key advantages:
High-Efficiency Land Use: "One water, two uses" maximizes economic output per unit area
Ecological Enhancement: PV panels provide shade, reducing water temperature and algae blooms
Dual Revenue Streams: Electricity sales + aquaculture production
Reduced Water Evaporation: Partial shading reduces evaporative losses
Market Segmentation: PV Mounting Types and Water Applications
The fishery solar photovoltaic project market is segmented by PV mounting type into:
Pile Foundation Fixed: PV panels mounted on fixed piles driven into waterbed. Suitable for deeper waters and larger-scale installations. Preferred for stability in variable water levels.
Floating: PV panels mounted on floating platforms (HDPE floats). Suitable for reservoirs, lakes, and calm waters. Growing segment for retrofitting existing water bodies without permanent structures.
By water application, the market spans Freshwater Aquaculture Waters, Seawater Aquaculture Waters, and Artificially Transformed Waters:
Freshwater Aquaculture Waters: Largest segment (approximately 60%), including freshwater fish ponds, reservoirs, and lakes
Seawater Aquaculture Waters: Coastal shrimp farms, tidal flats, and marine aquaculture zones
Artificially Transformed Waters: Excavated ponds and engineered aquaculture facilities
Competitive Landscape: Key Players
The fishery solar photovoltaic project market features integrated renewable energy developers, PV manufacturers, and aquaculture specialists:

Concord New Energy (CNE), CHN Energy, HD Renewable Energy, New Green Power, Xiamen C&D Emerging Energy, Mibet New Energy, Jiangsu Guoqiang Group, VG Solar, MOREDAY, Lightsource bp, SRNE SOLAR, Sunny Rich Group Regional and specialty developers
Recent Developments (Last 6 Months)
Several developments have shaped the fishery solar photovoltaic project market:
Land-Use Constraints: December 2025–January 2026 saw increased restrictions on ground-mounted solar on agricultural land in China, EU, and other regions, accelerating adoption of water-surface PV.
Government Support: Fishery-PV projects qualified for renewable energy subsidies and green bonds in multiple countries.
Technology Advances: Floating PV systems with improved anchoring and corrosion resistance for marine and freshwater applications.
China Market Leadership: China accounted for over 60% of global Fishery-PV capacity, with provincial governments mandating dual-use solar on aquaculture ponds.
Exclusive Insight: Fixed vs. Floating PV—Stability vs. Deployment Flexibility
A critical market dynamic is the divergence between pile foundation fixed and floating PV systems for Fishery-PV projects based on water depth and site conditions.
Pile Foundation Fixed PV (largest segment) is characterized by:
Stability: Fixed structure resists wind and wave action
Water Depth Range: Suitable for 2–10 meter depths
Installation: Requires piling equipment; permanent structure
Applications: Large-scale projects, deeper waters, higher wind zones
Advantages: Long-term stability; proven technology
Floating PV (fastest-growing) is characterized by:
Deployment Flexibility: No piling required; adaptable to variable water levels
Water Depth Range: Suitable for >1 meter depths
Installation: Faster deployment; no permanent waterbed impact
Applications: Reservoirs, lakes, shallow aquaculture ponds
Advantages: Lower installation cost; removable/redeployable
Freshwater vs. Seawater Applications (material considerations):
Freshwater: Standard aluminum and steel components; lower corrosion requirements
Seawater: Marine-grade materials; corrosion-resistant coatings; higher cost
A 2026 industry analysis indicated that fixed PV dominates large-scale freshwater projects, while floating PV is gaining share in reservoirs and retrofit applications. Seawater Fishery-PV requires specialized corrosion-resistant floating systems.
Technical Challenges and Innovation Directions
Key technical considerations in fishery solar photovoltaic project development include:
Water Depth Variability: Seasonal and operational water level changes affect PV clearance
Corrosion Resistance: Saltwater applications require marine-grade materials
Aquaculture Compatibility: Shading levels must suit cultured species (optimal 30–50% coverage)
Grid Connection: Remote aquaculture sites may require transmission infrastructure
Innovation focuses on:
Floating PV Optimization: Improved anchoring and mooring for varying water levels
Bifacial PV: Panels capturing reflected light from water surface
Agrivoltaic Integration: Combined solar + aquaculture + agriculture systems
Energy Storage: Battery integration for evening power supply
Conclusion
The fishery solar photovoltaic project market is positioned for explosive growth through 2032, driven by land-use constraints, renewable energy targets, and dual-use economic benefits. For developers, success will depend on site selection (water depth, aquaculture suitability), technology choice (fixed vs. floating), and integration with existing aquaculture operations. As land competition intensifies and solar costs decline, Fishery-PV will become an increasingly important model for clean energy generation without sacrificing food production.
