Aquaculture is one of the prime sector; affected by climatic variations and environmental pollution. In this research, a renewable energy based solution is proposed by integrating photovoltaic (PV) modules with a glasshouse structure to provide a controlled environment for fish ponds, ensuring production regardless of climatic fluctuations. Furthermore, this study analyzes the performance of two commonly used solar cell materials; crystalline silicon (c-Si) and nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si) within glasshouse-integrated PV system to maximize electrical energy output. The results demonstrate that c-Si and nc-Si shows similar temperature (16˚C-35˚C) of fish pond. Additionally, c-Si is 2% more efficient than nc-Si, which increases monthly electrical energy generation by 20% to a maximum of 2000kW in January. The choice of solar cell materials for the glasshouse integrated PVT system should be optimized in accordance with the expected lifespan and performance requirements of the respective greenhouse type, as the life of glasshouse materials varies from 5 to 30 years. Therefore, this study recommends appropriate solar cell materials for specific glasshouse designs by evaluating Energy Payback Time (EPBT) and Life Cycle Conversion Efficiency (LCCE), considering thermal exergy range from 7.5 years to 9 years and 12% to 21%.
