Abstract

Using renewable energy technology, such as solar panels, to support the automation of fish feeding is an innovative solution that can improve aquaculture efficiency. This study aims to test the performance of solar-powered automatic fish-feeding equipment implemented at the Medan City Fish Seed and Cultivation Center. Tests are carried out to monitor the current and power generated by solar panels and evaluate the device's effectiveness under field conditions. The test results showed that the device works optimally during the day, with a maximum current of 0.3 A and a maximum power of 100 W at the highest intensity of sunlight. Despite the decreased performance in the afternoon, this tool has proven to support the efficient automation of fish feeding. This technology significantly benefits fish farmers, including energy savings and operational costs. This research also provides essential information about the potential application of renewable energy in the fisheries sector more broadly.

Abstract

This Community Service aims to develop and implement solar-powered automatic fish-feeding tools to improve operational efficiency in fish farming. Using 10 WP solar panels is expected to reduce dependence on expensive and unstable conventional electrical energy, especially in areas with limited energy access. The method used in this activity was a direct trial at the Medan City Fish Seed and Cultivation Center, where several vital parameters were measured, such as tilt angle, azimuth angle, zenith angle, and time clock angle. The test results show that this device can operate effectively by utilizing solar energy optimally, especially when the sun's position is at the right angle. The efficiency of solar panels reaches a high level, allowing the battery to be charged in a relatively short time. The conclusion of this activity shows that this tool can help fish farmers automate feeding in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner while reducing operational costs. This technology has the potential to be applied more widely, providing a positive impact in increasing productivity and saving costs in fish farming businesses.
