To date, most studies focus on the ecological and environmental effects of land-based photovoltaic (PV) power plants, while there is a dearth examining impacts water-based PV plants. The fishery complementary plant, kind technology, near-surface meteorology aquaculture water environment were investigated in coastal ponds southeast China. results showed that prevented 89~93% solar radiation surface pond, resulting an average reduction temperature 1.5 °C substantial decrease light intensity 94%. Furthermore, it weakened wind speed by 41~50% elevated air 0.6 °C. In addition, impressive chlorophyll-α 72~94% notable increase dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations 8~24%. also reduced concentration labile phosphate, active silicate, total nitrogen, phosphorus, organic carbon. However, did not have influence nitrate ammonium. Our highlight plants may be able to improve quality benefit shade-loving species.

Potential impacts of floating photovoltaics on carbon fluxes across aquatic-terrestrial boundaries

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 426, С. 13 - 13

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2025

Floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems are a rapidly expanding renewable energy technology, yet their potential ecological impacts, particularly cross-ecosystem effects, remain poorly understood. This review synthesises current knowledge on organic matter (OM) dynamics and carbon (C) fluxes in lake ecosystems, examining how FPV installations may influence C cycling, insect emergence, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. can alter OM availability, shifting the balance between autochthonous allochthonous inputs. In short term, installation increase deposition due to rapid decline of primary producers riparian vegetation removal. Long-term effects uncertain but could drive metabolic regime shifts toward autotrophy or heterotrophy, depending initial conditions. These changes, combined with reduced oxygen temperature, significantly aquatic food webs, modify GHG fluxes, dynamics. Increased sedimentation enhance production, while delayed emergence weaken transfer terrestrial ecosystems. Declines emergent biomass impact predators, such as bats birds, triggering cascading effects. Overall, reshape across aquatic–terrestrial boundaries, impacts varying by coverage lake-specific factors. There is an urgent need for ecosystem-scale studies long-term data assess FPV-induced changes mitigate its biodiversity global cycle.

Abstract Renewable energy sources, such as floating photovoltaic systems (FPVs), are crucial to mitigating the climate crisis. FPV deployments on freshwater bodies rapidly growing, they avert land-use change, operate with increased efficiency, and potentially improve water availability by reducing evaporation frequency of algal blooms. However, understanding ecological consequences for is very limited despite variable far-reaching range potential impacts. Here, we bring novel insight combining an established theoretical approach—techno-ecological synergies (TES)—with robust body functioning, direct sustainable deployments. Specifically, show integrate consideration both deployment decisions based current evidence fundamental states processes. Based 422 pieces from a systematic review known physical ( n = 283), chemical 96) biological 43) effects systems, outline eight TES that could be realised through location, design, operation decisions. There was most 114) Water Use Efficiency TES, which all reported decreased rates, or savings, due panel shading. We highlight lack hosting bodies, well need comprehensive studies in physical, chemical, aspects dynamics integrated. Finally, detail research priorities ensure future benefit bodies. Ultimately, integrated system knowledge, mitigate emergencies, notable benefits society.
