Growing lettuce in a solar-powered greenhouse

Scientists in the United States have analyzed how semitransparent organic solar cells placed on the roof of a greenhouse may impact crop production. They assessed, in particular, how solar power generation may affect lettuce crops and found that the plants not only grow unhindered but also that the solar cells reduce overheating in the greenhouse.Installing semi-transparent organic solar cells on the roof of a greenhouse requires a holistic approach that considers trade-offs between power generation, crop productivity, and greenhouse thermal management This is the main conclusion of the study ...
