Photovoltaic solar electricity for greenhouses
Poly-silicone, thin film materials are becoming available that allow light through. This material can be placed between two layers of glass or plastic and then used as the glazing on the greenhouse. As it reduces light transmission about 30 percent, only part of the roof is covered with the PV panels.
