Among various water bodies, aquaculture ponds stand out as particularly suitable platforms for floating solar installations. Aquaculture ponds, which are widely used for fish farming, are typically characterized by calm water surfaces and minimal wave activity, making them ideal for stable PV platform placement and long-term maintenance.

Covering 50–60% of the pond surface area with PV modules resulted in a notable 2.3°C reduction in water temperature, particularly during peak sunlight hours. This moderation effect benefits cold-water fish species such as European perch and pikeperch, which are commonly farmed in Dutch aquaculture ponds.
In fact, this is also related to the specific types and methods of fish farming. In terms of breeding types, for the most shade-loving breeding products such as shrimp, blue crabs, soft-shelled turtles, river crabs, yellow catfish, and sand catfish, photovoltaic panels block the sunlight and lower the water temperature, which is the best choice.
