This 2021 was taken in March in Ninghai County, Zhejiang province, at the Shepantu 99-megawatt (MW) fishing-solar PV project in the SHEPANTU reclamation area of Ninghai County, Zhejiang province. It combines modern fisheries parks with photovoltaic power generation projects in an efficient way, opening up a win-win model for both underwater farming and water-based power generation. The ecological environment is good, attracting a large group of night herons to roost on the photovoltaic panel, where they live and breed.
