Abstract

Solarna energija predstavlja jedan od glavnih izvora obnovljive energije. Potencijal proizvodnje električne energije putem solarnih panela predmet je brojnih istraživanja. Ovaj rad daje pregled istraživanja solarnih panela na vodenim površinama te njihove prednosti i nedostatke u odnosu na kopnene solarne sustave. Obrađuje se i utjecaj solarnih panela na vodeni okoliš te njihov potencijal u budućnosti. Paneli postižu najveće vrijednosti proizvodnje kad su u doticaju s vodom radi efekta hlađenja. Također, blizina vode doprinosi dugovječnosti rada panela. Hibridni sustavi mogu pozitivno utjecati i na prirast ribe. Solarni paneli pružaju sjenu na površini vode što štiti uzgajane životinjske vrste od temperaturnih ekstrema i drugih okolišnih stresova. Suradnja između istraživača, poljoprivrednika i kreatora politike može pomoći u razvoju prilagođenih rješenja, kako za svjetski tako i hrvatski kontekst razvoja plutajućih solarnih panela koja maksimiziraju dobrobit proizvodnje obnovljive energije uz osiguranje sigurnosti hrane i vode. Tehnička izvodljivost postavljanja solarnih panela na vodene površine je već dokazana, ali i dalje nedostaju specifična istraživanja o direktnom doticaju vode s pontonskim strukturama i solarnim panelima, kao i o njihovoj mogućoj povezanosti s akvakulturom.

Abstract (english)

Solar energy is one of the main sources of renewable energy. The potential for electricity production through solar panels has been the subject of numerous studies. This paper provides an overview of research on solar panels installed on water surfaces, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages compared to land-based solar systems. It also examines the impact of solar panels on aquatic environments and their future potential. Panels achieve the highest production values when in contact with water due to the cooling effect. Additionally, proximity to water contributes to the longevity of panel operation. Hybrid systems can also positively impact fish growth. Solar panels provide shade on the water surface, which protects cultivated species from temperature extremes and other environmental stresses. Collaboration between researchers, farmers and policy makers can help develop tailored solutions, both for the global and Croatian context of developing floating solar panels that maximize the benefits of renewable energy production while ensuring food and water security. The technical feasibility of placing solar panels on water surfaces has already been proven. However, there is still a lack of specific research on the direct contact of water with pontoon structures and solar panels, as well as their possible connection with aquaculture.
