A little pricey upfront: The price of a solar energy greenhouse with solar panels is higher. But the cost is recovered in a couple of years. And the reduction in electricity bills saves a lot of money for decades. So, are there any adverse effects of using the solar-powered greenhouse technology for the plants?
The term 'solar greenhouse' typically refers to a passive solar energy greenhouse. Here's a fun fact: All greenhouses are 'solar' because they use the sunlight to create a suitable environment for the plants to grow. Yet, the way in which they work is different – hence, the variation.
Improvements in photovoltaic electricity systems are making them more attractive for greenhouses. Photovoltaic systems with efficiencies as high as 40 percent are now available at a cost that results in a reasonable payback. Also, systems that can be integrated with the greenhouse are being installed. Let's look at some of the options.
In contrast, a passive solar energy greenhouse uses light from the sun. A passive solar energy greenhouse depends upon the sun and natural elements instead of the propane heaters that a traditional greenhouse uses. If needed, a solar energy greenhouse can also generate electricity that can run appliances like fans for cooling if it gets too hot.
Get in touch! Traditional greenhouses rely on external fossil fuel derived energy sources to power lighting, heating and forced cooling. Specially designed BiPV solar glass modules for greenhouses, Heliene's Greenhouse Integrated PV (GiPV) modules offer a sustainable alternative with no additional racking or support required.
