  • This paper presents a unified analytical framework for a two phase underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system that integrates Simultaneous Lightwave Information and Power Transfer (SLIPT) using a photovoltaic (PV) panel receiver. The proposed architecture enables self powered underwater sensor nodes by leveraging wide area and low cost PV panels for concurrent optical signal detection and energy harvesting. We develop a composite statistical channel that combines distance dependent absorption, turbulence induced fading characterized by the mixture Exponential Generalized Gamma (EGG )distribution, and beam misalignment due to pointing errors. Based on this model we derive closed form expressions for the probability density function, the cumulative distribution function, the outage probability (OP), the average bit error rate, the ergodic capacity, and the harvested power using Meijer G and Fox H functions. Overall, the paper introduces a practical analytical framework that provides clear guidance for design, optimization, and operation of SLIPT based UWOC systems.
