Abstract

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the growth in the world's population will increase the challenge of food security. Therefore, a sustainable strategy is required as an option for traditional agriculture, such as aquaponic systems. In the present study, the experimental characterization of an existing aquaponic system at the Universidad de Los Andes, Colombia, is carried out. The aim is to propose a methodology to evaluate the energy viability of these systems when they are continuously power supplied by solar energy and achieve their adequate functioning by responding to the biological needs of the unit. In addition, this system is defined as a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). It is a reference for applying a roadmap to Panama according to climatic conditions. It was obtained as a result that the photovoltaic system (PV) coupled with the aquaponic system responds to the biological needs of the organisms. However, it has opportunities for improvement, such as battery capacity.
