A Green Boost for Economy: 120 MW ASTRO N5 for a Fishing-solar Hybrid Project
Astronergy supplied 208,448 pieces of ASTRO N5 PV modules, totaling 120MW, for a significant fishery-solar project in Southern China. After around 10 months’ construction, the project connected to the grid in June 2024. It is now in the smart operation phase, utilizing advanced monitoring and maintenance technologies.
Expected to produce 126 million kWh annually, the project can save around 38,187.76 tons of standard coal each year. Also, it will reduce emissions by approximately 99,727.49 tons of carbon dioxide, 1,088.19 tons of sulfur dioxide, and 1,088.19 tons of nitrogen oxides, contributing to local green development.
To maximize energy output and ventilation, ASTRO N5 solar panels are designed to be installed at a 19° angle according to local geographical and lighting conditions. Those panels help lower water temperatures by about 2°C of the pond, improving fish survival rates as well as reducing the impact of heat and light on aquaculture.
The project features an innovative cable-supported bracket system that raises the panels more than 3 meters above the water. This design cuts the number of supports by 70% compared to traditional settings, minimizing environmental impact and offering more space for aquaculture. This approach significantly reduces interference with the pond’s ecological environment and supports the sustainable development of the aquaculture industry.
