Over the last few years, solar energy has demonstrated great potential for integration with agricultural greenhouses. The present study reviews the progress of solar greenhouses by investigating their integration with solar energy technologies including photovoltaic (PV), photovoltaic-thermal (PVT), and solar thermal collectors.
Solar-powered greenhouses harness the sun's power to create an ideal environment for plant growth. Unlike conventional greenhouses reliant on external energy for heating and lighting, solar greenhouses employ passive solar methods to maintain temperature and offer natural light.
Solar energy as the most plentiful renewable energy source can be harnessed to supply the energy demand of greenhouses. Besides, the simplicity of solar-based technologies makes them ideal options for utilization in rural areas and remote locations with difficult accessibility.
Among solar energy technologies, solar thermal systems have indicated to be the first option to mitigate the energy consumption of greenhouses. However, the best functioning of these systems has been obtained under moderate climate conditions.
