A study of solar energy for an aquaculture in Jakarta

Abstract

This paper presents the study of integrating solar panel over a grouper fish cage culture. The study is aimed to investigate the required illuminance for the fish to grow. This aspect is necessary since the application of the solar panel will affect the illuminance below it. The results showed not all the PV panels type could facilitate the required illuminance. The steps of study is as follows: (1) to study the optimum light for the growth of the grouper fish, (2) to study the structure of the floating net cage, and (3) to study the optimal solar panel type that later will be integrated with the selected facility building
