Project Introduction

Background

The term aquaponics is used for an agriculture system involving the simultaneous cultivation of plants and aquatic animals, such as fish, in a symbiotic environment. Aquaponics systems can be used in outdoor set up or indoor aquaponics greenhouses.

Motivation

Labour and energy usage is the largest cost factor for aquaponics systems. Energy consumption varies largely with the layout and purpose of the system. The project investigates a novel approach of using solar energy to provide electric energy required for sensing and monitoring an aquaponics system.
