This study proposes a novel offshore floating structure integrating photovoltaic (PV) panels and a fishing cage with steel-FRP (fiber-reinforced plastic) skeletons to optimize marine resource utilization and enhance the economic viability of floating systems. . Solar energy can be harnessed two primary ways: photovoltaics (PVs) are semiconductors that generate electricity directly from sunlight, while solar thermal technologies use sunlight to heat water for domestic uses, to warm buildings, or heat fluids to drive electricity-generating turbines. Meanwhile, the application of FPV in marine environments has become an important area of research. . Abstract Renewable energies have greater demand to reduce dependency on fossil fuels. The growing demand has led to higher efficiency of solar cells with innovations; the harvested energy per unit area has increased over time. One aspect of the solar energy is that it reduces the carbon dioxide. . PV power generation uses solar light, and uses solar cells to convert light energy into electrical energy.
