Abstract

Food and energy availability have become strategic issues amid population growth and environmental crises, necessitating innovations in more efficient, adaptive, and sustainable aquaculture systems. This study focuses on the development of an integrated aquaponics system that combines fish and plant cultivation within a closed ecosystem, enhanced by Internet of Things (IoT) technology and the use of solar panels as the primary energy source. The developed system is designed to monitor environmental parameters in real time, including pH, TDS, temperature, humidity, and light intensity, as well as to track the performance of solar panel power output as part of the system’s energy management. The research methodology includes hardware and software design and integration, prototype development, functional testing, and performance analysis based on energy efficiency and aquaculture productivity. The results show that the resulting smart aquaponics prototype is energy-efficient, adaptive to environmental changes, and user-friendly, demonstrating potential to support food and energy independence at both household and community scales.
