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. . CATL, in partnership with State Grid Fujian Electric Power, is spearheading the development of an offshore fishing raft microgrid demonstration project. This initiative integrates wind and photovoltaic power generation, energy storage, and a digital energy management system to ensure uninterrupted. . Marine solar energy—floating photovoltaic arrays deployed on ocean surfaces—represents a promising frontier in clean energy production, offering up to 20% higher efficiency than land-based systems due to the cooling effect of water. Meanwhile, the application of FPV in marine environments has become an important area of research.
