Q&A
It combines aquaculture with green energy to enhance multi-functional land use. Following the "Aquaculture First" principle, it integrates professional, large-scale eco-friendly farming with solar power, allowing for simultaneous development and supplemental income. Under the premise of not affecting operations, solar panels can lower water temperatures and improve environmental quality.
Solar development requires significant land, which is limited in Taiwan. To prevent land from going to waste, "multi-functional land use" is essential, making the combination of aquaculture and green energy highly suitable. The southwestern region is ideal due to its vast aquaculture areas and high-intensity, long-duration sunlight.
We serve as an integrated platform connecting solar and aquaculture resources for landowners, farmers, and solar developers. We manage site development while protecting the rights of all three parties. Our goal is to introduce smart farming technology to traditional industries, improving environments and maximizing added value.
Per Council of Agriculture (COA) regulations, ponds must maintain active farming and reach at least 70% of previous average yields to qualify for solar facilities, preventing "fake farming".
No. Projects must be based on actual farming and proceed only with the farmer's consent; original farmers also hold the right of first refusal for leasing.
No. Planning prioritizes maintaining existing conditions and does not intentionally change original farming methods.
Yield facts are determined based on the average of the past three years of agricultural statistics. If yields fall short, the developer and farmer address it together; True Love Agri-Aqua-PV will introduce professional consultants to resolve issues and ensure sustainability.
No. Subsidies are an existing right of the farmer; solar revenue is considered added value and does not impact other claims.
Green energy funding can be used to renovate sites. Farmers can also introduce smart farming, traceability systems, and international certifications (G.A.P/ASC) to increase output value and develop a large-scale fishery economy.
No. According to regulations, this is a combination of agricultural management and green energy; the land remains classified as agricultural land.
No. Design planning involves joint discussions with the farmers to understand their needs and incorporate their feedback.
Our consulting team utilizes smart monitoring to track water quality and prevent disease. We analyze data via the cloud and guide farmers in using probiotics to improve nutrition.
Regulations allow a maximum coverage of 40% for outdoor ponds and 80% for indoor facilities. Actual water surface coverage is determined after planning and discussion with the farmer.
Research shows 40% shading does not hinder growth. It helps lower water temperature and stabilize quality in summer, while providing protection against cold winds in winter.
No. Regulations require cleaning panels with pure water only—no chemicals. Panels must also have non-toxic certificates to ensure no hazardous leaching.
